ABSTRACT
The suffixes are added to the Primary Base, like the suffixes of the Simple
Indefinite Tense. Verbs belonging to groups (ii), (iii), (iv) have -n-infixed between the primary base vowel and the positive suffixes. Verbs belonging to
group (v) have the last vowel of the primary base nasalised before the positive
suffixes. Thus:
Bases ending in a vowel (groups ii, iii, iv, v) have the final vowel nasalised
before negative suffixes:
5 3T1 hamm áudaynathyaw 3-4 t \'11i uni jádaynathe
When a base of a group (i) verb ends in an unvoiced consonant (See Lesson 6.3), the negative suffix may be written -fi'4 -tinathé, etc.
