In this paper we present data on the copula system of Kuke, a language of the lower Nubri valley, in northern Nepal. We present data showing that the system of copulas cannot easily be categorised in terms of the different descriptive categories that are frequently used in discussion of languages of the Himalayan region (evidentiality, egophoricity, conjunct/disjunct). Further, the different contrasts encoded in the morphologically simple copula system shows a range of semantics (loosely associated with first person interpretations) that has rarely been described as occurring in one system.

真相、个人和个人真相

在本文中，我们提供了关于库克语系库系统的数据，库克语是尼泊尔北部努布里河谷下游的一种语言。我们提供的数据表明，根据喜马拉雅地区语言讨论中经常使用的不同描述性类别（证据性、自我暗示性、合取/分离），不能轻易地对连接词系统进行分类。此外，在形态上简单的 copula 系统中编码的不同对比显示了一系列语义（与第一人称解释松散相关），很少被描述为发生在一个系统中。
