Words: Ííty ù-lù'ù=tì' Juáàny bzyàá lè'èny bòòls. Gloss: neg com-put=neg Juan beans in bag Translation: ‘Juan didn't put the beans in the bag.' Comment: The clitic =tì' follows the first word/phrase after the negative word ííty. In the most neutral order, this is the verb. But if 'Juan' were focused the order would be ííty Juáàny=tì' ù-lù'ù .... Thus =tì' is not truly a verbal clitic, but a more general clitic that frequently appears on the verb.

Words: Ííty Juáàny ní-gù' bzyàá lè'èny bòòls. Gloss: neg Juan neg-put beans in bag Translation: ‘Juan didn't put the beans in the bag.' Comment: If the verb to be negated is in the negative or potential aspect, then ííty seems to act like a raising verb and the following clause is in SVO order. The =tì' clitic does not appear in this case. Contributor: George Aaron Broadwell |
