When a noun that is not normally a "being capable of language" is used
to refer to such a being, which set of suffixes does it take?
Artificial example (not the actual idea I'm trying to express but has
a similar form/structure):
{SuvwI'vam vIwIv. SuvwI'vetlh DawIv. ghIq...}
- {Suvchuq wIvmeymaj}, or
- {Suvchuq wIvpu'ma'}?
I guess the question is, is it the noun that determines the suffix
class, or the referent of that noun?
