Negation
The verbal negation is conveyed by the negative adverb ož. This adverb is placed after the main verb.
ek‘ laž imo howð‘i → ek‘ laž imo howð‘i ož the dog is sleeping → the dog isn't sleeping
ek‘ laž owxy ek‘ żen → ek‘ laž owxy ož ek‘ żen 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.
