Verbs can have up to two derivational prefixes. There are two types of prefixes: stressed prefixes, which are separable, and unstressed prefixes, which always remain attached to the root. A verb may have at most one prefix of either type, and when both are present, the stressed one comes first. Most are very productive and also very vague semantically. | |||
*Stressed prefixes: | |||
**''aus-'': this one generally marks the end of an action or a state. | |||
***''mogg'' "be allowed to" -> ''ausmogg'' "forbid" | |||
***''gygē'' "beard" -> ''ausgyg'' "shave" ("end the state of having a beard") | |||
**''ferr-'': this one usually creates a causative verb. | |||
***''dwyn'' "disappear" -> ''ferrdwyn'' "remove" | |||
***''sgill'' "be different" -> ''ferrsgill'' "distinguish" | |||
**''inn-'': this one generally indicates being or going inside, or the beginning of a state. | |||
***''heppt'' "have" -> ''innhyf'' "contain" ("have inside") | |||
***''vúr'' "bring" -> ''innvúr'' "bring in" | |||
***''slap'' "sleep" -> ''innslap'' "fall asleep" | |||
**''oss-'': this one usually marks either a causative verbs or the beginning of a state. | |||
***''lag'' "laugh" -> ''osslag'' "be ridiculous, make someone laugh" | |||
***''rʉtig'' "rotten" -> ''ossrʉt'' "rot" | |||
**''yt-'': this one is no longer productive and its meaning is not yet well understood. | |||
***''pratt'' "speak" -> ''ytpratt'' "pronounce" | |||
*Unstressed prefixes: | |||
**''bi-'': this one is very productive and can form verbs from any other word. | |||
***''kopp'' "buy" -> ''bikopp'' "sell" | |||
***''irrig'' "annoying" -> ''biirr'' "annoy" | |||
***''kis'' "choose" -> ''bikis'' "vote" | |||
***''straf'' "punishment" -> ''bistraf'' "punish" | |||
***''siff'' "number" -> ''bisiff'' "calculate" | |||
**''her-'': this one indicates a repetition. | |||
***''tú'' "do" -> ''hertú'' "repeat" | |||
***''wet'' "know" -> ''herwet'' "remember" | |||
