The auxiliary ''-mb-'' of compound verbs developed from the fusion of a bound pronominal marker to the connective particle ''mon'' (possibly derived from the Minhast connective ''min''), which is attached to the suffix ''-bi''<sup>1</sup>, plus a tense-aspect marker. The verbal noun contains the semantic content of the verb phrase. | The auxiliary ''-mb-'' of compound verbs developed from the fusion of a bound pronominal marker to the connective particle ''mon'' (possibly derived from the Minhast connective ''min''), which is attached to the suffix ''-bi''<sup>1</sup>, plus a tense-aspect marker.
