Naish-Story:
shu-ya-.aat Notes:
Note that yaa occurs in every form except the perfective. This verb has a plural stem, meaning that multiple people or animals are being led. In the paradigm given here, the plural object pronoun has "them" is used. One could also use ñaa "people", as in: ñaa shoowa.aat "s/he led people". Another option is the object prefix ñu- "people", as in: ñushoowa.aat "s/he led people". For both of these, note that the third person object pronoun a- on the verb is dropped. If you want to indicate that animals are being led, omit the has/ñaa/ñu- and use: ashoowa.aat "s/he led them (animals)".
