Verbs

TODO: revamp tenses to get split-ergativity, add evidentiality

Unlike Qivattutannguaq, Pestonian is NOT pro-drop.

There is a 2x2 tense structure: {non-past, past} x {imperfective, perfective}.

Ergativity is used in perfect(ive) tenses. The verb agrees with the noun in the absolutive case, and the ergative subject is marked with the ablative-locative case: Sõmed teisedim. 'He will find me.'

As in Hebrew and Russian, some tenses are pro-drop but some tenses are not.

eed "to be":

  • ja im, tu er, se/sa/sud eed, am imme, ju eht, sir huud

teised "to find":

  • Non-past imperfective: ja teisia, tu teiser, se/sa/sud teised, am teisim, ju teisid, sir teisud

  • Future perfective: ja teisiar, tu teisedar, se/sa/sud teisedur, am teisemaht, ju teisedaht, si teisudur
