Negation
The verbal negation is conveyed by the negative adverb re. This adverb is placed before the verb, usually after other non-verbal elements in the sentence.
lažex ɕūrū → lažex re ɕūrū the dog is sleeping → the dog isn't sleeping
lažex θihe hōxu → lažex θihe re hōxu the dog bit the man → the dog didn't bite the man
Double negatives are generally not allowed; the presence of another negative element in the sentence inhibits the negative adverb.
