(Komi-Permyak)

QuantN

QuantN: Quantifiers precede the nouns they modify.

(1)vöraliśembydkerku-yn.
hunterbe.prseveryhouseine
’There’s a hunter in every house.’ (Korp_Permyak)

(2)gor-sökažnöjlunlont-a-mö.
stoveacc.3sgeverydayheatprs1pl
’We heat the stove every day.’ (Ponomareva 2002: 129)

Komi-Permyak uses the universal quantifier byd(ös) (1) ’every, each’, or, less frequently kažnöj (2), kažnej, každöj, každej ’every, each’ (Ponomareva 2002: 129). All of these always precede the noun (L. P.)
