The article examines how words in the Dan language can change from verbs to nouns or adjectives. It shows that the differences between these types of words are not always clear, especially when considering the tone of the language. The way Dan forms possessive phrases is also discussed, with a comparison to English. The researchers found that possessive phrases with words derived from verbs or adjectives are not as different as previously thought. In some cases, a word from a verb can act like a regular noun, and a word from an adjective can act like a describing word.
