===Questions, Negation, Negative questions===
In '''questions''', the clitic + verb complex undergoes an inversion: the clitic, which is found in a proclitic position (before the verb) in declarative sentences, is found in an enclitic position (after the verb) in interrogative questions. The inversion takes places in all tenses. Some clitics (3sf, 3sn, the dual, 3p) don't change with inversion, but some others (1s, 2s, 3sm, 1p, 2p) lose their vowel.
The '''negation''' is formed by attaching a '''''ni-''''' morpheme before the verbal stem. This negative particle is attached to all negative  verbs in all tenses.
In '''negative questions''', the negative morpheme keeps the same position, while the clitic undergoes the same inversion phenomenon as their positive counterparts.
