====Temporal Deictic Clitics====

The Temporal Deitic clitics are usually attached to the first word of a sentence, e.g. ''Anut=antak America san-kamuk tā'itá' '', "A year ago, Anut flew to America". In multiclausal sentences, the clause in which they appear have scope over the elements preceding it. At least one, ''=yorai'', cannot appear after the initial clause. These clitics may also be attached to the ~~primary~~ verb, and in the process replace the auxiliary tense affixes of the Direct Voice, as in ''Anut America san-kamuk=inkát itá' '' "Several years ago Anut flew to America" (note that the Temporal Deictic clitic ''=inkát'' has replaced the past tense affix ''tā-'' in ''tā'itá' ''). Compare this with the Direct Voice Distal Past form ''suphitá' '', in ''Anut America san-kamuk suphitá' '', "Anut went to America a while back". Also note that the other verb voices do not lose their tense markers, as in ''Otok erashi ta-karok=inkat ta'itá''' (boy crab INV-eat=several.years.ago INV.PST-COP) "The crab ate the boy."
