• 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..
• 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).
