The verb \u1405\u14a5\u1505\u148b\u14ef\u14c2\u1424<\/span> umischisiniu<\/span> s\/he has shoes<\/span> is made up from the possessed noun \u1405\u14a5\u1505\u148b\u14ef\u14d0<\/span> umischisin<\/span> his\/her shoe<\/span> and the verb ending -iu<\/span> to make a verb meaning s\/he has shoes<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Such verbs of possession can be formed by the addition of a secondary suffix to a possessed noun with a third-person prefix, and, if required, the possessive suffix -im<\/span>. The verb underlying stem vowel is -i<\/span> followed by inflection -u<\/span> which becomes -iu<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n
