Naish-Story:
--- Notes:
This verb only occurs in the imperfective. Note that in the example sentence, the classifier in the verb: waañt akal.át is l- and NOT la- . For some common nouns such as waañ "eye", it is possible to leave off the overt possessor du "his/her". The D- element of the classifier (in this case l-) replaces the overt possessor. Therefore, in the sentence below there is no overt possessor of waañ, and the verb has the D- component of the classifier (l-), producing the phrase: waañt akal.át.
