international phonétique (IPA), sauf que [j] est remplacé par [y].
a
arəba
a
a article. a, an; fr: un, une; dt: ein, eine.
a article. [Note: The article precedes the noun or
noun-phrase which it qualifies. It is obligatory for
all common nouns (including nominal derivations
from verbs) and some proper nouns, but not for
place names. Adverbs and finite verbs are never
preceded by the article. The article a is omitted if
the noun or noun-phrase is qualified by a personal
pronominal adjective (my, your, etc.), whether in
the weak or strong form. It is also omitted if the
noun or noun-phrase is qualified a numeral or by
certain (final) deictic or demonstrative adjectives,
such as nandɪ . Such cases are noted individually in
the entry of each such adjective. The article a has
no special meaning, but since there is no indefinite
article in Koromfe, it conveniently translates as
'a/an'. ]
aa negative particle. not; fr: ne...pas; dt: nicht. [Note:
This negative particle occurs between the subject
NP and the verb (in the same position as ba ). It is
extremely rare in occurrence; ba is far more
common. ]

ba
baa
b
ba pronoun / possessive adjective. they; their; them; fr:
ils, elles; leur(s); les, leur; dt: sie (3. pl.); ihr(,-er,-
e,-es) (3. pl.); ihnen.
ba proclitic personal pronoun (subject), postclitic
personal pronoun (direct or indirect object) &
possessive adjective 3rd person pl. human. [Note:
This form is either prefixed to a verb or a noun
phrase, or suffixed to a verb; it cannot stand alone
(e.g. as the elliptical answer to a question). As the
prefix of a verb, it is the subject pronoun, on a noun
phrase it is the "possessor", and as a suffix on a
verb it is the (direct or indirect) object. The 3rd
person plural pronoun can be used when referring to
a single person as a sign of respect (e.g. when
speaking about the chief). The vowel of this
pronoun is lexical and is therefore (in contrast with
some other pronouns) never omitted. ]
ba bo ke ba bɛllaa sentence. They said that they will
come.; fr: Ils ont dit qu'ils viendront.; dt: Sie haben
gesagt, daß sie kommen werden.
maa hamanda ba wɔgɔ sentence. I don't believe their
words.; fr: Je ne crois pas leurs paroles.; dt: Ich
glaube nicht an ihren Worten.
maa hamanda ba sentence. I don't believe them.; fr: Je
ne leur crois pas.; dt: Ich glaube ihnen nicht.
bakɔ disjunctive personal pronoun (subject, direct or
indirect object) & possessive adjective 3rd person
pl. human. they; their(s); fr: ils, elles; leur(s), le/la
leur(e)(s); dt: sie (3. pl.); ihr(,-er,-e,-es) (3. pl.).
[Note: This form of the pronoun indicates some
kind of "emphasis", but this can be so minimal that
in practice the disjunctive form can always be used
in place of a clitic pronoun. It never undergoes any
phonological reduction or expansion. It can stand in
the normal (preverbal) subject or (postverbal) object
positions, and can also be used as the elliptical
answer to a question. As with all disjunctive
pronouns, it is formed with the proclitic prefix
version of the pronoun and the invariant stem-like
element kɔ . ]
bakɔ bo ke ba bɛllaa sentence. They said that they will
come.; fr: Ils ont dit qu'ils viendront.; dt: Sie haben
gesagt, daß sie kommen werden.
maa hamanda la bakɔ wɔgɔ sentence. I don't believe
their words.; fr: Je ne crois pas leurs paroles.; dt:
Ich glaube nicht an ihren Worten.
baa negative proclitic (subject) personal pronoun 3rd
person pl. they...not; fr: ils/elles ne...pas; dt: sie (3.
pl.)...nicht. [Note: This pronoun is equivalent to the
proclitic subject pronoun ba combined with the
(homophonous, but otherwise unrelated) negative
particle ba . The origin of this negative pronoun (and
of all others) seems to be an old negation particle
aa , which occurs once in an oral text recorded in
1967 by Wilhelm Staude and published in Rennison
(1985b). This particle in turn might possibly have
come from the commonly used áʔà 'no'. As with the
negative particle ba , negative pronouns cause
shortening of the final vowel of the future. ]
baa bɛ̃nɛ sentence. They didn't come.; fr: Ils ne sont
pas venus.; dt: Sie sind nicht gekommen.
ba negative particle. not; fr: ne...pas; dt: nicht. [Note:
Can be used to negate a verb, or participial
adjective. It precedes the constituent which it
negates. ]
ba negative particle.
a yɔ ba bɛ̃nɛ sentence. The chief hasn't arrived.; fr: Le
chef n'est pas arrivé.; dt: Der Chef ist noch nicht
angekommen.
a pɛrəgʊ ba bĩnəmʌ̃ NP+Neg+Participle compound
noun sg. a shirt that is not black; fr: une chemise
qui n'est pas noir; dt: ein Hemd, das nicht schwarz
ist.
a pɛ̃nɛ ba bĩnĩʌ̃ NP+Neg+Adjectival noun pl. shirts
that are not black; fr: chemises qui ne sont pas noir;
dt: Hemden, die nicht schwarz sind.
ba negative particle. See main entry: ba .
ba proclitic personal pronoun (subject), postclitic
personal pronoun (direct or indirect object) &
possessive adjective 3rd person pl. human. See
main entry: ba .
ba tag- noun. bachelor; fr: célibataire; dt: Junggeselle.
a ba tagrɛ Neg+N compound noun sg.
a ba tagəba Neg+N compound noun pl. [Note: The
element tag may be distantly related to a tɔɔm
'marry a woman'. It seems to have no connection
with the word a tagrɛ 'pond, lake'. ]
