It is usually used to build relative clauses, in which the subject is the linked noun, and the direct object is declined in the ablative case:
ʔṓnašu ʔalolī́pɑtsī́toli wī́roli the man which might have seen the woman
As an adjectival form, it displays a complete declension, to agree with the class of the referred noun.

| imp. past |
The passive participle is an adjectival form of a verb. It is used as a verbal adjective in sentences, and it can be declined. It is linked to nouns which undergo an action, or inactively are in a certain state.
Despite the lack of a verbal passive form, this participle is the closest form to such role. It can, however, be used only as an adjective and it is often used to build relative clauses, in which the object is the linked noun, and the subject is declined in the agentive case. In the earlier period it is not used in this role.
wī́roli ʔalolī́puki ʔṓna the woman seen by the man
As an adjectival form, it displays a complete declension, to agree with the class of the referred noun.
