Verbs with Ø-classifier
Transitive verb forms
If the verb takes an object, some of the forms look a bit different.
If the object is represented explicitely by a noun, nothing changes. If there is no overt object noun, there is no change in the first and second person forms. In the third person forms, a morpheme ("third person object prefix") attaches to the verb. It immediately follows the third person plural subject marker q-. In the singular, it precedes all other conjunct prefixes. It is marked light red.
