Peshpeg verbs consist of an inflected auxiliary usually followed by a verbal noun, although the verbal noun may precede the auxiliary. | Peshpeg verbs are divided into two classes, compound verbs, and synthetic verbs. Compound verbs consist of an inflected auxiliary usually followed by a verbal noun, although the verbal noun may precede the auxiliary. In contrast, synthetic verbs encode all verbal inflections on the verb root itself. Of these two classes, the compound verbs are the predominant class. | ||
The auxiliary developed from the fusion of a bound pronominal marker to the connective particle ''mon'', | ====Compound Verbs==== | ||
The auxiliary of compound verbs developed from the fusion of a bound pronominal marker to the connective particle ''mon'', possibly 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. | |||
