The Negation indicates the refusal to
give permission to perform the action and entails that the action was not
performed subsequently.
(ii) When the suffix is preceded
by -
(a)
The immediate future tense marker /-de/. Here a
morphophonemic rule would delete the vowel in the tense suffix (Rule 3).
/-de/ ®
/-d/ /--- / -m/.
Ex :
(1)
Immediate Future Habitual -
(208)
/h1
thįd
m2/
`I1 shall/do not eat2’
(209)
/nyś1 h2 parõ3 hwd
m4/
`you1 will/do not see4
my2 friend3’
(2)
Decisive Mood -
(210)
/h1 tap2
thįgād
m3/
`I1 (decided that I) shall not
eat3 rice2’
(211)
/h1
jyimcyane2 syégād
m3/
`(I decided that) I1 shall not
kill3 Jimchane2’
Here the negation applies only to the
action of the main verb but not to the decision expressed by the mood.
(3)
Executor Causative -
(212)
/h1
thįd
mbo2/
`I1 did not (not caused to) eat2’
Here also only the action of the main verb is negated but
not the presence of the external stimulus, i.e., the sentence (212) cannot
entail
(213)
/h1
thįso2/
`I1 eat2’
(b)
The future tense marker /-li/.
Here also a morphophonemic rule deletes the final vowel of the tense marker.
/-li/ ®
/-l/ -- /-m/ as in
Ex:
(1)
The Distant Future Formation -
(214)
h1 thįblm2/
`I1 shall not eat2’
There are two rules operating
on this. The analysis would be `thį + bģ + li +m’.
The negative suffix can be attached only after supplying
the future tense markers /-b/
and /-li/. The concord restrictions do not apply.
The first rule deletes the final nasal in the first
tense suffix. The second deletes final vowel in the
second tense suffix (Rule 4).

thį-
m-yõ-ke2/

thįd
d
/
and /-li/. The concord restrictions do not apply.
The first rule deletes the final nasal in the first
tense suffix. The second deletes final vowel in the
second tense suffix (Rule 4).
