Finally, we reach the leftover groups again.
31.1. The Wö-Group
The members of the Wö-Group have the following forms:
Æ E sË
wË Ö/U
I
----------------------------------------------------
höwö- | höwæ- höw-
höw- höw- höwöy-
höwë-
köwö- | köwæ- köw-
köw- köw- köwöy-
köwë-
We can note the following patterns:
* Both of the prefixes end in -wæ- in the Æ-Stem
forms. Both forms
also have an optional form ending in -wëë-
that can be used with Æ-
Stem Verb Bases. When the optional
form is used, the second -ë- of
the prefix replaces the initial -æ-
of the Verb Base.
* Both of the prefixes end in -w- in the E-Stem, Strong
Ë-Stem and
Weak Ë-Stem forms.
* Both of the prefixes end in -wöy- in the Ö/U-Stem forms.
* Both of the prefixes end in -wë- in the
I-Stem form. The initial
-i- of the Verb Base drops out and
is replaced by the -ë- of the
prefix.
For example:
höwææya'tahkwa' :: he
teases him
she teases him
they tease him
köwææya'tahkwa' :: it
teases it
31.2. The Kö-Group
The members of the Kö-Group have the following forms:
Æ E
sË wË
Ö/U I
----------------------------------------------------------
kö- | köë-
köy- köy- köy-
köy- kö-
hakö- | haköë- haköy-
haköy- haköy- haköy-
hakö-
We can note the following patterns:
* Both of the prefixes end in -köë- in the
Æ-Stem form. The initial
-æ- of the Verb Base drops out and
is replaced by the -ë- of the
prefix.
* Both of the prefixes end in -kö- in the I-stem
form. The initial
-i- of the Verb Base drops out and is
replaced by the -ö- of the
prefix.
* Both of the prefixes end in -köy- in all the rest of the forms.
For example:
köëya'tahkwa' ::
I tease you
haköëya'tahkwa' :: he teases
them
31.3. The Rest: ya- and ethsi-
Last but not least are the two prefixes ya- and ethsi-. The prefix
ya-
takes the following forms:
Æ
E sË wË Ö/U
I
-----------------------------------
ya- | yæ- y- y-
y- y- yë-
The initial -i- of the I-Stem Verb Bases drops out and is replaced by
the -ë- of the prefix.
For example:
yææya'tahkwa' :: he teases you
The prefix ethsi- takes the following forms:
Æ E
sË wË
Ö/U I
---------------------------------------------------------------
ethsi- | ethsi- ethsiy- ethsiy-
ethsiy- ethsiy- eths-
For example:
ethsiæya'tahkwa' :: you two tease
her
you two tease them
you all tease her
you all tease them
