A DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF URALI
Sam Mohan Lal
4.19.1.7. Durative
The auxiliary verb - [k]oiru- gives the durative notion. It is observed that the voiceless plosive of the auxiliary verb - [k]oiru- is sometimes optionally deleted in the speech.
         {-[k]oiru}
         ~-[k]oiru-

‘she is writing’
anc-in-Ø-[k]oiru-nd-an (5.20,22) > ancikoirundä/ (5.20,17,22)anciyodirunä ‘he had been scared’
Auxiliary verb -a:s has a special character in Urali. That is, -a:s will be occuring only after the conjugated forms of all the other auxiliary forms. The addition of -a:s gives a completive notion to the complex verb stems.
