;Perfective
===Mood===
:The perfective aspect indicates an event viewed in its entirety, without reference to its temporal structure during its occurrence. The perfective aspect in muna can also act as gnomic depending on the sentence itself.


;Imperfective
Mood, like tense, is indicated by a dependent adverb.
:The imperfective is unmarked and indicates an action which is ongoing, evolving and/or habitual.


;Ingressive
==Nouns==
:The ingressive aspect marks the beginning of a new action or the acquisition of a state (I'm beginning to eat, I'm starting to become fat).


;Pausative
===Phonotactic restrictions===
:The pausative marks the stopping of an action without it being completed or carried out thoroughly (atelic construction), depending on context it can imply that the action will be finished in the future.
All nouns, in their base form, must have one of the following ending patterns:


;Resumptive
* <code>-a(C)(C)</code>
: Marks the continuation of an unfinished or unfinishable action.
* <code>-e(C)(C)</code>
* <code>-i(C)(C)</code>


;Egressive
===Noun classes===
: The egressive case marks the stopping of an action, but unlike the pausative, it implies the completion of the action (telic construction).


===Mood===
'''Gender'''
*Masculine
*:Last vowel is <code>e, ei</code>
*Feminine
*:Last vowel is <code>a, ai</code>
*Neuter
*:Last vowel is <code>i</code>


Mood, like tense, is indicated by a dependent adverb.
'''Strength'''
 
*Weak
==Nouns==
*:The word ends in a vowel
*Strong
*:The word ends in a consonant
