• construct state marked by a reflex of the CWdm 3sg.m possessive pronoun in
• Verb tenses work a lot like like in Jewish Babylonian Aramaic or An Yidis
  • "in VN" or "on VN" for imperfective aspect unmarked for tense
  • "after VN" for perfective aspect
  • an auxiliary can be used to mark tense, which is relative to conjunctions like "before": "before (future aux)", "after (past aux)"
