This sketch of the Grammar of Kaiwá attempts to describe clause level in its entirety, the Verbal Phrase at Phrase Level (the VP is the most complicated and interesting structure at this level), and verbs, verb stems and roots at Word, Stem and Morpheme levels respectively. A NOTE OF EXPLANATION The 'model' used here is a mild form of 'structure function'. You will find little if any characteristic tagmemic terminology.
