(3) Future :
|
|
There are two future marking alternant {-g-~-s-}. From the above table
/cãkũgo/
etc. shows the agreement of person-number as well as gender-number because
{-g-} is added to the contingent form. The other alternant {-s-} is added
to the verbal stems directly and then take (a-1) person-number suffixes.
Thus this form shows the agreement of person-number suffixes. Thus this
form shows the agreement of person-number with the subject. Both these
future alternant forms are syntactically related as the latter form
exclusively occurs in the negative sentences. Examples are :

(4) Perfective Praticiple :
|
|
The perfective participial stem is formed by adding {-y- ~
f} to the verbal stem and then it takes the
gender-number suffixes. The verbal form shows the agreement of
gender-number with the subject of intransitive verb and with the direct
object (in the direct form) of the transitive verbs.

(i) Transitive-object agreement
