It’s been a long time since my Field Methods, class, but I remember that (Central Atlas) Tamazight had some interesting pragmatics because it seemed to have both a nominal and verbal forms for adjectives, including color. We got some cool sayings that pertained to associating color and action.
Alas, it was also a very BAD quality Field Methods class. Our prof couldn’t even figure out the region (because of poor elicitation choices) and it turns out the way the elicitation was being done, our consultant gave us SVO instead of the normal VSO 😭 (but still grammatically correct? But infelicitous). But you know, bad profs r a story for another time lol
