====Polypersonal conjugation==== Finite verbs agree in person and number with their nuclear [[Argument (linguistics)|arguments]]; agreement is through both prefixes and suffixes. Transitive verbs agree with both arguments (ergative and absolutive), whereas intransitive verbs agree with their sole (absolutive) argument. Verbs distinguish two aspects, [[perfective]], the bare stem, and [[imperfective]], using the suffix ''-tkə / -tkəni''. There are five moods, [[Realis mood|indicative]], [[Imperative mood|imperative]], [[Optative mood|optative]], potential (marked by the circumfix ''ta…(ŋ)''), and conjunctive (prefix ''ʔ-/a-'').
