| description | Lai verbs have three different forms:
· Matrix—Form 1
· Subordinate—Form 2
· Causative
Many verbs distinguish between these forms phonetically while others retain a single form throughout. Verbs which do distinguish between the forms usually have morphophonemic alternants, expressing either matrix - subordinate or matrix - causative forms. Moreover, these alternations display several diverse morphophonemic patterns. |
