I have recorded dramatically different constructions for these future and
future negative participials for R and K. Here the noninitial Future particle is e
(allomorph he after a V-final demonstrative), and it patterns quite differently
from T-ka mar. The Participle ending is attached to the following (Shlmpf)
verb, not to the preverbal particle. In this R and Κ construction, clitics can
intervene between Neg waer and Future e, while the fused T-ka Fut Neg
complex ü-mar allows no intervening material. Examples are in (525).
