Ikaan: d=...=m ¹

Abiodun 1997: 9-10. A simple system is listed in [Abiodun 1999: 247]: sg. d=ɛ̀=m, pl.: d=à=m (with significantly differing dialectal forms: Iyinnọ sg. dɛ́dɛ́, pl. dádá, Iigau sg. rèé, pl. ràá). However, the more detailed explanation in [Abiodun 1997] shows that all the vowels here are really class agreement markers, and that the proper deictic meaning is expressed by the combination of the initial consonant (that also has several allomorphs, and is essentially a distance-neutral deictic morpheme, since it is also present in 'this') plus the distance marker =m. The complete system is as follows: class 1 = sg. d=ɛ̀=m, pl. d=à=m, class 2 = sg. d=ɔ̀=m, pl. d=à=m; class 3 = sg. n=ɛ̀=m, pl. d=ɛ̀=m; class 4 = sg. n=ɔ̀=m, pl. d=ɛ̀=m; class 5 = sg. n=ù, pl. d=à=m.

However, the more detailed explanation in [Abiodun 1997] shows that all the vowels here are really class agreement markers, and that the proper deictic meaning is expressed by the initial consonant that also has several allomorphs. The complete system is as follows: class 1 = sg. d-ɛ̀ː, pl. d-àː, class 2 = sg. d-ɔ̀ː, pl. d-àː; class 3 = sg. n-ɛ̀ː, pl. d-ɛ̀ː; class 4 = sg. n-ɔ̀ː, pl. d-ɛ̀ː; class 5 = sg. ɲ-ù, pl. d-àː.
