To indicate that something is being caused to happen add one of the following special endings to the matching tense stem. There is a special pronunciation change based on the final sound of the stem you are attaching to!

This suffix only attaches to verbs that do not indicate something or someone doing for themselves. This suffix can not be used on verbs such as “He is running”. In such cases a verb that indicates some degree of “to make it”, “to cause it”, or “to motivate it” should be used instead.

Note: The present tense suffix attaches to the present tense stem, the past tense suffix attaches to the past tense stem, and so forth.

Take the past tense form and add one of the following suffixes.. Uses “Set B” pronouns.

• Ꮒ- + Ꮥ- becomes ᏂᏗ-

☞ The Ꮒ- prefix can indicate “will have already begun” or “will have already occurred” when used with the habitual form.

You are indicating a future event happening alongside another future event. The events are “beside” or “next to” each other.

This requires replacing the “-oi” ending with “-esdi”.

• Ꮒ- + Ꮥ- becomes ᏂᏗ-

☞ The Ꮒ- prefix can indicate “had already begun” or “had already occurred” when used with the past tense form.

You are indicating a past event happening alongside another past event. The events are “beside” or “next to” each other.

This requires a change of the ending to “-oi”.

To indicate that something is being done “again” you take the past tense form and add one of the following special “again” endings. These endings are only for “again”, not “repeatably”. Uses “Set A” or “Set B” prefixes as parent verb.

To indicate that something is being done “accidentally” you take the past tense form and add one of the following special endings.

The following indicates the main meanings for some of the more common forms of “is” as found in the text.
