/ˈzɛnə(ʊ)klɪtɪk/ · adjective
(Romani linguistics) Having an inflection and stress pattern characteristic of European vocabulary..
The plural oblique of xenoclitic classes was not distinct from that of oikoclitic classes in ER.
Although there are some similarities between oikoclitic and xenoclitic classes - perhaps most noticeably the constant plural oblique -en (though with a variant -jen restricted to the oikoclitic classes), an inflection that is clearly indigenous - there are also striking differences.
Oikoclitic participles are based on the perfective stem of verbs, while xenoclitic participles are marked by a special participial suffix.
Use xenoclitic when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
