• The example verb used here is ayaan,
'have IN.' The main distinguishing feature of this class of verbs is that the
vti theme sign /-am/ is apparently added to a stem that ends in a vowel of some
sort. They otherwise work the same as any /am/-VTI. The only common verbs belonging
to this class are ayaan, 'have IN,' and gidaan,
'eat up IN.'
• Note that no marking for plural occurs in the first person plurals, inclusive
and exclusive, which both have first person plural suffix /-min/. In all dialects
of Ojibwe, this suffix is never followed by a number suffix (e.g., inanimate
plural).
• The negative word used with
independent order negatives is gaawiin.
