nounsdíl
nounsdíl is a neologistic linguistic term used to describe a hypothetical morphosyntactic feature in some constructed languages. It denotes a bound morpheme attached to a noun that marks its division into referential sub-classes within a noun phrase, such as a distinction between discrete individual referents and mass or collectivities. The concept is theoretical and not attested in documented natural languages.
Etymology: The term combines the English word noun with a coined suffix -sdíl, created for descriptive purposes
Description and distribution: nounsdíl can be realized as a suffix or clitic and is described as co-occurring
Illustrative examples: In a hypothetical language, the noun mira meaning “woman” could take nounsdíl1 to mean
In scholarly use, nounsdíl is primarily a tool for modeling and comparison rather than a documented feature
