Peshpeg verbs consist of an inflected auxiliary usually followed by a verbal noun, although the verbal noun may precede the auxiliary. | Peshpeg verbs consist of an inflected auxiliary usually followed by a verbal noun, although the verbal noun may precede the auxiliary. Only particles may occur between the verbal noun and auxiliary, and even then this phenomenon occurs rather infrequently, restricted to a closed set of discourse particles, such as emphatic ''ladi'', or time adverbials, such as ''peldak'' "immediately". | ||
The auxiliary developed from the fusion of a bound pronominal marker to the connective particle ''mon'', ultimately derived from the Minhast connective ''min''. This complex in turn is attached to the locative suffix ''-bi''<sup>1</sup>, plus a tense-aspect marker. The verbal noun contains the semantic content of the verb phrase. | |||
