The main verb is believed to be descended from a verbal noun.  The main verb hosts the Inverse Marker ''tā-/ta-'', aspect, and evidential/modal markers.  As mentioned earlier, the Inverse and aspect markers may detach from the main verb and attach to a converb, while the modal/evidential suffixes remain tightly bound to the main verb.
