*Subjunctive mood is often also used for future marking. | |||
*''Hu'', ''ju'', and ''yu'' bear the verb's tone. | |||
*Jussive and imperative ''hu'' precede and follow their verb respectively, and dative nouns must be placed between jussive ''hu'' and the verb. | |||
In verbs with modifiable tone imperfective aspect is marked with falling tone; in some regions verbs with modifiable lexical low tone are instead marked with low falling tone. | |||
Verbs are passivized with a preceding particle ''r'' which bears the verb's tone; in most regions and in standard Knrawi ''r'' precedes jussive ''hu'', but in some regions and in Royal Knrawi is directly precedes the verb. | |||
Infinitive verbs are marked with ''i-'', iterative/durative verbs are marked with ''-qm'' (in some regions and in standard Knrawi directly after the verb root, and in other regions after other suffixes, and in Royal Knrawi instead a separated following particle ''qm''), and abilitative and conditional verbs are marked with a preceding particle ''nĝ''. | |||
Questions are marked with a particle ''wuj'' at either the beginning or end (as in standard and Royal Knrawi) of the clause.
