 '''Past participle:''' past stem
+====Negation and Interrogation====
+Negation and interrogation are accomplished with the conjugated helping verb ''at fay'' "to do" followed by the bare infinitive. This construction can also be used in positive sentences for emphasis. Examples:
+*''You cant.'' "I sing" > ''You fay pass cant.'' "I do not sing"
+*''El dorms.'' "He sleeps." > ''Fays el dorm?'' "Does he sleep?"
+*''Lay manges.'' "She eats." > ''Keeth fays lay mange?'' "What does she eat?"
+*''Else wise.'' "They saw." > ''Else fiss weethe.'' "They did see."
+Archaically, negation and interrogation can be accomplished without the helper verb. Examples:
+*''You cant pass.'' "I sing not."
+*''Dorms el?'' "Sleeps he?"
+*''Keeth manges lay?'' "What eats she?"
+**Note: Since ''lay'' can mean both "she" and "her", this is more likely to be understood as "What eats her?"
