The following shows the final suffixes -vgi, -vi, -v, -ei as they were used in 1844. Even though it is not reflected in a lot of modern teaching materials, there are communities which still use the -ᎥᎩ suffix.

• -Ꭵ
  [-v] “did or was doing”

• -ᎥᎩ
  [-vgi] “did or was doing (with my personal knowledge or consciousness)”

• -ᎡᎢ
  [-ei] “did or was doing (without my personal knowledge or consciousness)”

• -ᎥᎢ
  [-vi] “his doing (already done)” (This form should be treated as a noun in the text.)
