<h3>Mood</h3>
&nbsp;Grammatical mood is very
important in Antarctican. It is formed by prefixes on the verb.
&nbsp;
<h4>Subjunctive Mood</h4>
This is used in any content clause (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_clause).
It is formed by prefixing wa- to the verb e.g.
&nbsp;
qíeypyiqiiey /&#660;ei&#660;p&#690;i&#660;e&#720;i/
- to spit out, mirative
waqíeypyiqiiey /wa&#660;ei&#660;p&#690;i&#660;e&#720;i/
- to spit out, mirative, subjunctive
&nbsp;
qinyieliqaa /&#660;i&#626;eli&#660;a&#720;/
- to pierce, mirative
waqinyieliqaa /wa&#660;i&#626;eli&#660;a&#720;/
- to pierce, mirative, subjunctive
&nbsp;
All the same
processes that can happen to prefixes on nouns (e.g. phonation spreading), can
also happen to prefixes on verbs e.g.
&nbsp;
rèdlu /&#641;&#600;&#614;d&#622;u/
- red, mirative
wòerèdlu /w&#604;&#614;&#641;&#600;&#614;d&#622;u/
- red, mirative, subjunctive
&nbsp;
Furthermore, if a
verb has been derived from a noun, then all prefixes that attach to it undergo
the exact same processes that prefixes attached to that noun would e.g.
&nbsp;
pùelùe
/p&#616;&#614;l&#616;&#614;/ - bridge, absolutive

/m&#690;&#616;&#614;p&#616;&#614;l&#616;&#614;/ - my bridge, absolutive
