The active 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 actively perform an action.
All modal infixes merge with the active participle ending:
- -iɳ- + -jyto = -iňyto
- -oç- + -jyto = -očyto
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:
qownaʂu qaloljyçočytoli hjyroli 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.
