==Verbs==


==Word Classes==
===Phonotactic restrictions===


===Verbs===
Verbs must end in one of the following patterns:


====Dependency structure====
*<code>-a</code>
*<code>-an</code>
===Dependency structure===

Line 77: Line 227:
| style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Aspect
| style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Aspect
|}
|}
===Modifier===
A modifier is a word, often an adposition, which modifies the meaning of the verb. Direction of the verb can be marked by an adposition and a locative case marking the corresponding noun.
:{{abbtip|First person|1s}}.{{abbtip|Nominative (agent)|nom|sc}} {{abbtip|First person|1s}}.{{abbtip|Genitive|gen|sc}} home.{{abbtip|Locative|loc|sc}} from walk.{{abbtip|Imperfective|impv|sc}} → "I'm walking from my home"
===Tense===
Muna does not inflect its verbs for tense, instead, speakers can use a time word or adverb for this purpose.
===Aspect===
{| class="bluetable lightbluebg" style="text-align:center;"
! style="width:100px;" | Aspect
! style="width:60px;" | Abbr.
! style="width:70px;" | Suffix
! Description
|-
|'''Gnomic'''
|{{abbtip|Gnomic|gno|sc}}
|
| style="text-align:left;" | Expresses general truths and aphorisms in which time structure is irrelevant
|-
|'''Perfective'''
|{{abbtip|Perfective|pfv|sc}}
|
| style="text-align:left;" | Indicates an event viewed in its entirety, without reference to its temporal structure during its occurrence.
|-
|'''Imperfective'''
|{{abbtip|Imperfective|ipfv|sc}}
| -∅
| style="text-align:left;" | Indicates an action which is ongoing, evolving and/or habitual.
|-
|'''Ingressive'''
|{{abbtip|Ingressive|ingr|sc}}
|
| style="text-align:left;" | Marks the beginning of a new action or the acquisition of a state.
|-
|'''Pausative'''
|{{abbtip|Pausative|paus|sc}}

===Mood===
Mood, like tense, is indicated by a dependent adverb.
==Nouns==
===Phonotactic restrictions===
All nouns, in their base form, must have one of the following ending patterns:
* <code>-a(C)(C)</code>
* <code>-e(C)(C)</code>
* <code>-i(C)(C)</code>
===Noun classes===
'''Gender'''
*Masculine
*:Last vowel is <code>e, ei</code>
*Feminine
*:Last vowel is <code>a, ai</code>
*Neuter
*:Last vowel is <code>i</code>
'''Strength'''
*Weak
*:The word ends in a vowel
*Strong
*:The word ends in a consonant

==Syntax==
In all cases the agent comes before the object as both can take either the absolutive or nominative cases depending on the particular situation. The verb comes last in all non-interrogative constructions.
;Passive
:Passive Subject + (Oblique) + Verb
;Anti-Passive
:Active Subject + (Oblique) + Verb
;Standard
:Active Agent + Passive Object + (Oblique) + Verb
;Involuntary action
:Passive Agent + Passive Object + (Oblique) + Verb
;Assisted action
:Active Agent + Active Object + (Oblique) + Verb
;Interrogative
:Verb + ... + (Oblique)
