ables . ▁ ▁Mor ph ology ▁In ▁X av ante , ▁morph ological ▁variations ▁of ▁words ▁are ▁a ▁significant ▁aspect ▁of ▁generating ▁new ▁constru ctions ▁within ▁the ▁language . ▁For ▁example , ▁morph ology ▁reflect s ▁honor ific ▁status , ▁in ▁that ▁morph emes ▁are ▁used ▁to ▁denote ▁relationships ▁of ▁int im acy ▁and ▁kin ship . ▁Similarly , ▁social ▁positions ▁and ▁situations ▁of ▁individuals ▁are ▁marked ▁using ▁morph ological ▁constru ctions ; ▁for ▁instance , ▁a ’ ama , ▁a ▁group ▁of ▁X av ante ▁men ▁trained ▁in ▁new ▁forms ▁of ▁pre - ex isting ▁words , ▁are ▁referred ▁to ▁by ▁other ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁cl an ▁using ▁a ▁specific ▁set ▁of ▁morph ological ▁forms . ▁X av ante ▁also ▁uses ▁a ▁ref lex ive ▁prefix , ▁t si -, ▁in ▁situations ▁requiring ▁this ▁gram mat ical ▁construction ▁to ▁be ▁denoted ; ▁for ▁instance , ▁ ʔ mad ə ▁( to ▁look ▁at ) ▁becomes ▁t si - ʔ mad ə ▁( to ▁look ▁at ▁ones elf ). ▁Finally , ▁the ▁post ver bal ▁morph eme ▁ni ▁appears ▁when ▁referring ▁to ▁a ▁generic ▁or ▁unknown ▁subject , ▁as ▁in ▁‘ ma ▁ ø - w ær æ ▁ni ’ ▁( or ▁‘ some one ▁( unknown ) ▁killed ▁him . ▁Mor ph ological ▁changes ▁are ▁important ▁in ▁generating ▁meaning ▁in ▁X av ante , ▁and ▁reflect ▁the ▁possibilities ▁of ▁showing ▁meaning ▁using ▁set ▁morph emes . ▁ ▁As ▁previously ▁discussed , ▁X av ante ▁express es ▁relationships ▁between ▁people ▁in ▁its ▁morph
