Negation

The verbal negation is conveyed by the negative adverb ʔīs. Unlike other adverbs, this adverb is firmly placed at the end of the clause.

ʔaɳīmaḱət́ sopaliə līro → ʔaɳīmaḱət́ sopaliə līro ʔīs
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 verb.
