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.
läty čüsüg → läty re čüsüg the dog is sleeping → the dog isn't sleeping
lätyk tiħe ħɑwkɑg → lätyk tiħe re ħɑwkɑg the dog bit the man → the dog didn't bite the man
A negative imperative, conveyed by the prohibitive particle dor, does not need any additional negative particles.
dor čüsüd don't sleep!
Double negatives are generally not allowed; the presence of another negative element in the sentence inhibits the negative adverb.
