Predicate classifiers function as the predicate in a clause; it is a combination of a stem, which is a verb of movement, location or existence, and a classifier, i.e., the affixed classifying handshape. The whole predicate therefore often translates to something like ‘this entity moves in a certain way in a certain direction’, ‘this entity is located there’, or ‘this entity is manipulated like this.’ In this section, we discuss entity classifiers (MORPHOLOGY 5.1.1), bodypart classifiers (MORPHOLOGY 5.1.2) and handle classifiers (MORPHOLOGY 5.1.3) in turn.
