These forms may be used with preverbs, like \u140b\u144e<\/span> aati<\/span> or \u140b\u1426<\/span> aah<\/span> in the above example.<\/p>\r\n

Initial change<\/a> is required on these verbs when there is no preverb. For example, the dictionary form of \u14c8<\/strong>\u1439\u14a1\u1426<\/span> naa<\/strong>paachh<\/span> is \u14c2<\/strong>\u1439\u1424<\/span> nipaau<\/span>. The vowel of the first syllable i<\/span> was changed to aa<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n

Note: the 1p ending -chiht<\/span> as in nekamuwachiht-h<\/span> is sometimes pronounced as -tist<\/span>, but it is not written as such.<\/p>\r\n
