Negation of verbs is ordinarily accomplished using the word ''not'' /nɒt/ "not" (which can be abbreviated as <i>-n't</i>).

*''Ear fo.'' "I ~~sing~~." > ''Ear ~~teal~~ not fo.'' "I do not ~~sing~~." / ''~~Oar tean~~'t fo.'' "I don't ~~sing~~."

*''Ear chew side.'' "I live here." > ''Ear tie not chew side.'' "I do not live here." / ''Ear tien't chew side.'' "I don't live here."

*''Se mulls.'' "He speaks." > ''~~Teals~~ se mull?'' "Does he speak?"

*''Se mulls.'' "He speaks." > ''Ties se mull?'' "Does he speak?"

*''She eats.'' "She eats." > ''Ho ~~tolls~~ she eat?'' "What does she eat?"

*''They wit.'' "They see." > ''They ~~toll~~ wit.'' "They do see."
