Usage notes

• The ge- prefix of gewesen is removed when another past participle comes before, hence 'wi sind gedrugen wesen' (we've been deceived).
• While being the official passive auxiliary, it is only used this way in the Kijlisk dialect, while most other varieties use werthen for this purpose.
