• The example verb used here is mikan, 'hide IN.' VTI's
that have theme sign /-am/ are also commonly called VTI verbs (or VTI1), to distinguish
them from /-oo/ and /-i/ theme verbs.
• The negative word used with the independent order is gaawiin, e.g.,
gaawiin nimikanziin imbabagiwayaan. 'I can't find my shirt.'
• 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).
