====''Junyai''==== | |||
The forms called, in traditional Dundulanyä grammar, ''junyai'' (sg. ''junya'', literally "shade, hue") are special stems (hence filling only the "stem" portion of the verb complex) which denote particular meanings, often corresponding to moods. There are five ''junyai'': desiderative, necessitative, potential, permissive and intensive, formed as follows, through reduplication (with different ablaut grades in the stem and in the reduplication) and suffixes: | |||
* Desiderative: zero-grade reduplication + middle-grade root + ''-s''; | |||
* Necessitative: middle-grade reduplication + zero-grade root + ''-sū''; | |||
* Potential: zero-grade reduplication + middle-grade root + ''-nā''; | |||
* Permissive: reduplication with the vowel ''ī'' (''ū'' after non-nasal labials) + zero-grade root + ''-ūd''; | |||
* Intensive: reduplication with lengthened vowel + zero-grade root + ''-ī''. | |||
Examples with various roots: | |||
