Protomorphological recognition criteria:

• Acquiring some distributional and phonological characteristics of adult functors.
• Individual fillers may be associated with classes of target morphemes (protodeterminers, protoauxiliaries), but these classes are not yet internally differentiated.
• Fillers in different syntactic positions becoming increasingly distinguishable on phonological grounds.
• Some fillers are multisyllabic amalgams modelled on frequently occurring clumps of target functors (e.g. wanna,  umma,didja).
