Usage notes

  • The prototonic third-person singular present is commonly used in absolute position to introduce an event that happened, regardless of whether the event happened in the present or past, even when normally the deuterotonic would be used there.
  • In the sense "happen to be", the subject is encoded as an infixed object pronoun.

Inflection

For the preterite, an s-preterite is used in the sense to strike, while in the sense to happen, reduplicated preterites tend to be used.
