The negative (`past')
participle is attached to the infinitive, and has the form -aame (LT
aamai ) or -aama(l). Its meaning is `not having verb-ed' or
`without verb-ing' or `instead of verb-ing'. The negative adverbial
participle of the copula iru is formed with the negative stem
ill-:
- ɧÁÔ×¾ illaame `not being', `without (being)', `instead of (being)'.
- ؽԴÔ×¾ pooh-aame `without going, instead of going'
- ÂÀÔ×¾ var-aame `without coming, instead of coming'
- ¶×¾¡´Ô×¾ samekk-aame `without cooking, instead of cooking'
When two clauses are conjoined and the first NP is not identical to the
second, there is a RESULT implied between the two clauses.
cf. § 6.14 for other NEGATIVE RESULT CLAUSES.
