Talk:Kuuk Thaayorre language

Morphosyntax - rarity of phrasal affixation
There was a 'citation needed' request dated 2012 on the claim that Kuuk Thaayorre was a rare example of a language displaying affixation to phrases.

Gaby (2006) claims that KT is 'one of a very few languages demonstrated', citing Dench and Evans (1998) and Anderson et al. (2006), but when I reviewed these two articles I didn't find evidence that this feature is rare, so I amended 'a rare example' to 'an example'. Happy to be corrected if I've missed something.
