Working Paper on Irrealis, Imperative Mode and Complementation ...

Ndy-a gives us a good example of an interrogative morpheme used in irrealis mode
ma-(a)jar-a STA-speak-IRR “what) should (I) say?”
5) Ikana dangū dewata tuwi matwang
kimuta ikang mānuṣa paḍa bhakti
tatan ujarĕn wre adhama ya tiryak
kimapi mĕne wānara ya tan atwang
In the past even the gods were respectful,
How much more so human beings, all of them devoted and humble,
Not to mention lowly animals like monkeys that walk on all fours,
Still further a monkey like this one who has no respect
Discussion:
in-ujar-ӗn UV2-speak-IRR “(not) to speak of (lowly animals like monkeys)”
6) RY10.29
Ko pwa mujî śaktinya di Rāma / swang puji tan wruh ring sapuji-mwa
tar papaḍeng pāpeka si Rāma / bwat pĕjah ing tan yogya ya hingsan"
(Rawana to Hanuman)
“You boast about the Power of this Rāma,
But your bragging was off the mark—you don’t really know who you praise,
There is no sin equal to that of Rama,
Without thinking twice he killed those who did not deserve to be treated with violence.
Discussion:
hingsan analyzed as h-in-ingsa-ӗn, UV2-violent treatment-IRR
The OJED [633] cites a UV2 form hinangsa “to be killed” which is attested in RY 6.187 and
NS (Nītiśāstra) 4.12. This suggests that the underlying form here is h-in-ingsa-(ĕ)n, with loss
of –in- under conditions of irrealis and the usual reduction of the irrealis marker –ӗn to –n
following a vowel-final base.
7) OJR 11. 32 Sāsing sājña narendra yeka pituhun sojarta tak langghanā
"nāhan prārthana ni nghulun taya waneh sangkā ri göng ning rĕṇa
"yapwan tan wulat i nghulunn apa kunĕng līngangkwa tag wruh huwus
"nā ketunya tĕka narendra huwusĕn sangkā ry unĕng ni nghulun"
