Exercise 1.4
Factual + K-Class Prefixes

The third and final Modal prefix we shall look at is the Factual. The Factual has the form wa- before h- or a vowel; otherwise it takes the form o'-. Just as with the Optative and Future, after the Factual the Pronominal prefixes beginning with h- lose the h-. Prefixes beginning with a vowel add a -'- to the beginning; but the 1sP prefix ak- combines with the Factual to form ök-. Look at the model.
