=====Verbal derivation===== | |||
The verb system has a rich system of derivational affixes that may be used to expand on the meaning of the basic monosyllabic root. | |||
The '''k-prefix''' is the first and most commonly encountered verbal affix, where basic verbs go from CVC- → kaCVC-. It carries a basic meaning of intensity and is also used for emphasis. For example, ''izlâbát'' (‘he has fallen’) versus ''izkalâbát'' (‘he has truly fallen’). | |||
