Index

This index combines authors with topics. I have also included topics which are not discussed in the book. These are denoted by either the abbreviation ‘n/a’, indicating that the topic was not deemed relevant in Kurtöp grammar, or ‘not discussed’. In the case of these latter topics, I have not yet been able to determine whether or not it would be a relevant concept in Kurtöp grammar. abbreviations 440–443 allative 165–166 ablative 66, 68, 72,
