Note on usage:
This form of the continuative suffix occurs after the habitual suffix -hk. The k of the habitual suffix -hk is elided when it combines with this form of the continuative suffix. The capital V represents any vowel and is replaced by the last vowel of the habitual stem. The forms of the aspect-mood suffixes that follow the continuative are -a’ or -Ø for the punctual and -ah or -Ø for the imperative. |
