{{PAGENAME}} has an auxiliary verb system similar to Colloquial Welsh. In addition, there is a T-V distinction: the 2nd person plural ''u'' is also used as a polite pronoun. | |||
*''Re Dovíð ngaw šun.'' = David is about to sleep. | |||
*''Biuth re Dovíð ngaw šun'' = When David is about to sleep | |||

=====Cautionary future===== | |||
The auxiliary for the cautionary future comes from the Biblical Hebrew verb ''*zāmam'' 'to scheme'. It's used to: | |||
* warn the listener of a future event or contingency: | |||
** '''''Zum''' sąraz tha lovu fu kol ngeth.'' = 'The storm might come here any moment.' | |||
** '''''Zum''' tafkestaz mul lith kovuą hettev!'' = 'The map might not be well-defined! [in a hypothetical math lecture, cautioning against a tacit assumption the audience might make]' | |||
* often used in a threatening manner, for example: ''Lakh to mul yedhą ma '''zum''' i ląsuth lakh to!'' = 'You have no idea what I'm gonna do to you!' | |||
====Object pronouns==== | |||
Object pronouns are not different from subject pronouns, except ''kho/khe/khem'' may be found instead of ''to/te/tem'' in some dialects. | |||
