The absentative marker is also used in Mi'gmaq. Absentative markers are used when the person the speaker is talking about is either deceased or not present. This is primary used for those not present whom the speaker has not see for a long time and not someone the speaker has seen, for example, yesterday. This is used in the past tense.
