Alternative form of Negative Past Habitual.

Another form, contrasting with that in § 6.121, and used perhaps in different dialects, is a form where the modal î¹Ôâ kuudaadu `should not, must not' is affixed to the verb and embedded before ýá Éçÿ¢ nnu irund + PNG .

This form indicates a slightly higher degree of intention, and an emphatic Î ee is suffixed to ½¹¢â¡Þ padattukku `to the movies' to signal this.
