1 Disjunctive is mostly used in copular sentences or for emphasis, either alone (eg.kaana) or with a clitic (eg.kaana-k ...-ek).
2 Null morpheme. An unmarked verb implies a third person singular pronoun. The disjunctiveswaaka andwiš may also be used.
Note: Proclitic and enclitic forms can combine and undergo syncope, eg.ellešk(“let me do to him/her/it”) =elle +-eš +-ek
