Verbal Participle |
Jesperrson (1924 : 87) defines
participles as "really a kind of adjectives formed from
berbs". This definition implies that participles qualify
or modify the nouns. Verbal participle is not a finite form
and it qualifies the verb of the main sentence. One main
difference in terms of form between an adverb and a verbal
participle is tthe presence of tense marker in a verbal
participle. The tense marker is absent in an adverb even
though both of them qualify the verb of the sentence.
|
The verbal participle is derived by adding -sena to the verb
root. |

Interrogative |
-a is the interrogative suffix in
Purki. It is added with the verb to get a ‘yes-no’
question. This suffix occurs with the finite verb alone and
not with any other grammatical category. It follows the tense
suffix.
