 The verb "to be" is suppletive as it uses various different stems (from Proto-Lahob ''*gəjó'', ''*woŋ—*uŋ'', ''*mōws'' respectively) and irregularly — for example, the future indicative is morphologically a present.
-Note that the indicative present is very rarely used, as the copula is usually dropped in most cases; when used with the meaning of "to have" (e.g. ''lili mæn tulūʔa yambras uñyąt'' "I have six pears" (lit.: I <small>TOPIC</small> six pears are)) it is considered better not to drop it, but it is often done nevertheless in common speech.
