  Accentuation of Enclitics
We have enclitics in English too--think of the "'im" in "I don't like 'im." The end of that sentence is pronounced "likim," that is, as if the 'im were part of the preceding word.
Step 2: all enclitics will be able to drop their accents entirely because there's no chance of not having an accent on one of the last three syllables of a superword.
Enclitics have an acute accent except for the genitive plural of the indefinite pronoun/adjective (tinwn) which customarily is accented with a circumflex.

Enclitic tones are employed in the rolling-off format where a heavy syllable is followed by one or more light syllables.
Excluding the acute, the crescent and the flat, the choice of pattern for an enclitic tone may vary depending on which accent a speaker uses and be affected by tones of bordering syllables.
This symbol, composed of two virgules in a row, is used to delimit a unit of transcription from the rest of it when this unit serves as a separate phrase or a clause syntactically.

 Clitic
Strictly, a clitic is either an enclitic, where the clitic is with the preceding word,, or a proclitic, which is with the following word.
However, sometimes the word "enclitic" is used as a synonym for clitics in general.
Although clitics are usually defined in terms of pronunciation, they are often reflected in writing as well, with the two words being written together without space in between.

 Ancient Greek Accents
An enclitic has no accent of its own unless it starts a phrase, but it can affect the accent of the word preceding it.
Enclitic are the indefinite "tis" in all forms, present indicative forms of "eimi" and "phemi" (except the monosyllabic second-person singulars), the postpositive conjunction "te".
Compounds with "tis" or "te" as the second element are accented in the enclitic fashion, as in "hou~tinos" and "hw'ste".

 Quenya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rules for this are not completely understood, although evidence suggests that independent forms are more emphatic in nature, while enclitics are the forms in use normally.
The effect of having both pseudo-synthetic (with enclitics) and analytic (with independent pronoun) verbs gives Quenya a system strongly resembling that of Irish Gaelic (see Irish verbs).
What is known is that for intransitive verbs, the pronoun can appear as either an independent word or an enclitic, with the enclitic form often coming in two different forms, long and short.

Evidentials of Cusco Quechua Cusco Quechua, as well as most other Quechua varieties, has three enclitics that have been claimed to be evidentials: the Direct evidential -mi (with allomorph -n), which is the focus of the present study, the Reportative evidential -si (with allomorph -s), and the Conjectural evidential -chá.
In his analysis, the evidential enclitics constitute radial categories, the meanings of which are represented as semantic nets.
Such research is already in progress: Floyd (1999) also discusses the enclitics -si and -chá for Wanka Quechua within the framework of prototype theory, and Faller (2002) discusses the corresponding enclitics as well as the evidential past tense morpheme -sqa for Cusco Quechua.

 What is an enclitic?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
An enclitic is a clitic that is phonologically joined at the end of a preceding word to form a single unit.
The English negative morpheme not becomes an enclitic when de-stressed and joined to the preceding auxiliary verb, as in the following:

is the narrative enclitic which is generally suffixed to every principal (i.
Generally this enclitic is added only when the individual is mentioned a second time in the text, presumably to indicate that the same person is being referred to.
Since neuter verbs are not conjugated for mode and tense, these variations are expressed by means of enclitics.

The enclitic always loses its accent, except a dissyllabic enclitic after a paroxytone (143, 2).
The word before the enclitic alwaj'S retains its own accent, and it never changes a final acute to the grave (115,2).
The personal pronouns generally retain their accent after an accented preposition: here i/xov, i/ijoi, aud e/xi are used (except in irpos fie).

 We
Other Indo-European languages that have cognates with English we include Hittite, which has wês, and Sanskrit, which has vayam.
The Latin nos represents the enclitic form of the pronoun, which is preserved in English us and German uns.
In some Romance languages including Spanish and Catalan, nos is supplemented by the word for "others" (nosotros and nosaltres - similarly in the Quebec French locution nous autres).

 LINGUIST List 5.201: Chipewyan; Affect; Body language; Linguistics; Spanish
In a list of more than two items, each item will be marked with -u (sandhi has been undone).
Cook regards these three functions as distinct, and concludes that -u is the common phonological representation for three distinct morphemes.
And, of course, this is pure coincidence; no one's suggesting a genetic link between Sanskrit and Chipewyan on the basis of one enclitic.) -- Dr.
