Basic verbal morphology
Verbs in Okinawan should be tagged <v>. Note that because the difference between present and future in Okinawan is strictly contextual, tags that refer to the "present" actually refer to the "non-past". Furthermore, verbs have three major classes:
- Regular 1: verbs with the «うん» ending, such as «あっくん», «かむん» etc
- Regular 2: verbs with the «いん» ending, such as «うりん», «きいん» etc
- Iregular: «すん», «すん» etc
Verbs have three tenses/inflections: Indicative, Intentional, and Imperative. These are represented by the tags <pri>, <int>, and <imp>. Additionally, Indicative verbs can be tagged as either past <pri> or non-past <pres>. Finally, any of these other than the Intentional can be negated using the <neg> tag.
«ゆむん» (read) is a Regular1 verb:
- ゆむん<v><ind><pres> ↔ ゆむん
- ゆむん<v><ind><pres><neg> ↔ ゆまん
- ゆむん<v><ind><past> ↔ ゆまん
- ゆむん<v><ind><past><neg> ↔ ゆまんた
- ゆむん<v><int> ↔ ゆま
- ゆむん<v><imp><neg> ↔ ゆむな
Gerundization =
Verbs can be made into nouns by affixing «yaa» to the verb stem. To represent this, the <ger> tag is used.
- ないん<v><ger> ↔ なやあ
- もおいん<v><ger> ↔ もおやあ
- かちゅん<v><ger> ↔ かやあ
