===Verbs===
[[Negation]] is by adding the particle ''be'' after the verb or noun negated: ''gumu be'' "(it is) not (a) stick", ''ʔam be-gea'' "he will not come" ("come not-?"). Negative forms in ''b'' are widespread in [[Nilo-Saharan languages|Nilo-Saharan]] and [[Afro-Asiatic languages]].

There appears to be a [[causative]] suffix ''-ka'': ''mawo hoop'' "water boiled" → ''upa mawo hoop-ka'' "(a) man boiled water".

A particle ''git'' ([[infinitive]]? [[subjunctive]]?) marks the verb in constructions with "want": ''moopa git inɗeet'' ("sit ''git'' want") "I want to sit".

Much of the verbal morphology is uncertain; there appears to be a 3rd person singular future suffix ''-g-'' (e.g. ''inɗage t'a-g'' "he will eat") and a 2nd person plural suffix ''-ɗe''
