Intransitive Verbs

Verbs inflect for tense and evidentiality. The two tenses are non-past (NP) and past. The evidentiality distinctions are firsthand (FH) for evidence personally seen, sensed, or done, non-firsthand (NFH) for evidence not seen, sensed, or done, and a zero evidentiality form for imperative, interrogative, and various subordinate clauses. Furthermore, negative verbs never take FH evidentiality, only NFH or zero.

Verbs also inflect for subject using one of the pronominal proclitics. Verbs can optionally carry a suffixed verbal enclitic.

Intransitive Verbs have only one argument (S), or one argument with a complementary argument adding information about S. Peripheral arguments can be added using prepositions.
