Compound Verbs
335. A very large number of 'compound verbs' are formed
in Kurdish by combining a noun or an adjective with a
number of auxiliary verbs. (See 192, 4), These verbs are
either transitive or intransitive, and are used both in the
'active' and in the 'passive' voice, just like any other verbs.
The verbs most frequently employed as auxiliaries in form¬
ing compounds are the following :
