Negation
The verbal negation is conveyed, as already shown, by specific negative temporal suffix of the verb.
wooha tternine reenigæpiid → wooha tternine reenigæpeer the dog bit the man → The dog didn't bite the man
In the present tense, whose positive form displays no ending, the negative form always displays a specific ending.
roo kumirom → roo kumiromal I'm eating → I'm not eating
The negative ending of the present tense is used also for the negative form of the imperative, which usually displays no ending.
śiibæd! → śiibædæl! sleep! → don't sleep!
Double negatives are generally not allowed; the presence of another negative element in the sentence inhibits the negative adverb.
roo retine tuurkarom → roo oortuno retine tuurkarom I see a person → I see no person
