Comment: The language displays split ergativity (David 2014:50). In the non-past tenses the language has nominative-accusative alignment while in the past tenses ergative-absolutive alignment is displayed. The forms inflected according to the nominative-accusative alignment are listed below. In addition, the forms listed are those used in eastern variants of the language. A wide range of other regional forms is described by David (2014:158-9). Finally, the 3rd person possessive forms only function as such when immediately preceded by the genitive prepositional element 'də' (David 2014:163).
