 ==Possession==
 Possession affects nouns in Wamesa. The nouns undergo alterations depending on whether they belong ({{tag|poss}}) to {{tag|p1}}, {{tag|p2}}, or {{tag|p3}}; {{tag|sg}}, {{tag|du}}, or {{tag|pl}}.

 ===Habitual Aspect===
 Habitual aspect ({{tag|hab}}) in Wamesa is subtle. It is marked by the prefixes ''i-, ri-'' and ''ti-'' for {{tag|sg}}, {{tag|du}}, and {{tag|pl}}, respectively, and is often equated to the imperfect tense in English. In Wamesa, however, it has little to do with tense, and more to do with the fact that the situation is habitual or spanned a long time:

 ==="Yet"===
 The affix ''-pa'' (not to be confused with the determiner) is used to mark the unaccomplished past ("not yet") aspect ({{tag|unacp}}):
