3.4.2. Main Verbs
There are three types of main verbs: simple verbs, conjunct verbs,
and compound verbs. A simple verb may consist of one main verb
and person, gender, number, tense, and aspect markers. In the
compound verb construction, the person, gender, number, and aspect
markers are taken by the explicators/operators, and in the conjunct
verbal construction they are taken by the verb element. We will
classify the verbal constructions as intransitive, transitive,
ditransitive, causative, dative, conjunct, and compound.
3.4.2.1. Intransitive Verbs
Intransitive verbs like Aa a: ‘come,’ jaa ja: ‘go’ ]z uth ‘get up,’ and baOz
b ́th ’sit.’ do not take a direct object and are not marked by any
postposition in the present or future tense. Subjects in such cases are
controlled by the verb agreement.
