| Verbs are indicative by default; tense is only marked (with particles) for indicative verbs; the lack of this particle can indicate that a verb is being used to modify a noun instead, or that the verb is being used gnomically. Verbs can agree for animacy or locative type. The optative covers a wide range of subjunctive-like uses. The particle ''tʼíʔ'' may be used to subordinate clauses. | | Verbs are indicative by default; tense is only marked (with particles) for indicative verbs; the lack of this particle can indicate that a verb is being used to modify a noun instead, or that the verb is being used gnomically.

Grammar notes
Verbs are indicative by default; tense is only marked (with particles) for indicative verbs; the lack of this particle can indicate that a verb is being used to modify a noun instead, or that the verb is being used gnomically. Verbs can agree for animacy or locative type. The optative covers a wide range of subjunctive-like uses. The particle tʼíʔ may be used to subordinate clauses.
I was originally thinking this was phonemic IPA, but I think I'd rather interpret it as a weird orthography now.
