Verbs with Ø-classifier

Subject Prefixes

If a verb has a Ø-classifier, the position preceding the stem is empty. The person prefixes therefore immediately precede the stem and can sometimes interact with it.

The notation for a verb with a Ø-classifier is Ø+ verb.

Because of the absence of an overt classifier, the person prefixes do not change their shape but appear as:


1st Sg. esh-
2nd Sg. n-
3rd Sg. Ø-
1st Pl. ch'-
2nd Pl. eh-
3rd Pl. q-
