Verbal TAM’s Nominal TAM’s<br />

Imperative (5:§2.1.1) Imperfective with Totality s-…-y (5:§2.2.3.5)<br />

Perfective (5:§2.1.3) Subjunctive (5:§2.2.2)<br />

Hortative (5:§2.1.3) Perfective with focused subject (5:§2.2.1)<br />

Negative Imperative/Horative/Subjunctive (5:§3.3)<br />

The only important TAM forms which are not included are the Counterfactual<br />

(5:§2.1.4) and the Conditional Future (5:§2.2.5), for which I do not have full paradigms.<br />

The negative Perfective (5:§3.1) is identical to the Perfective with m (COMPLEMENTS)<br />

-w following the verb. Negative Imperfective (5:§3.4) is identical to the Imperfective<br />

illustrated here, but with the discontinuous negative m-…-w replacing the s-…-y<br />

Totality.<br />

4 The Ø object forms <strong>of</strong> this verb include the Totality suffix -a;y (7:§2). Vaziya would not give this verb in<br />

the affirmative Imperative without this suffix.<br />

5 Kwa; ‘lack’ was the only transitive H class monoconsonantal verb I found. Vaziya could make no sense<br />

<strong>of</strong> this verb with an Indirect Object.
