The verbal complex consists of at least one verb and a number of particles which indicate tense, aspect, mood, evidentiality and the speaker's opinion. The general formula for the verb complex is: | |||
* Evidentiality | |||
* Tense/aspect I | |||
* Verb root(s) | |||
* Tense/aspect II | |||
* Mood | |||
* Speaker's opinion | |||
===Evidentiality=== | |||
There are three evidential particles: ''akai'' (inferential), ''namai'' (belief; the word is identical to the word for "think") and ''palai'' (hearsay). | |||
