Transitive Animate (TA) verbs are verbs that have an animate object. (All verbs with an object of any kind have an animate subject by default). Examples of TA verbs include gesalul, 'I love you' and nemi'g, 'I see him/her'. TA verbs have 36 possible combinations of subject and object, of which 8 involve the obviative. The 28 combinations that do not involve the obviative are shown in the tables below. Those that do can be found on another page.
The first table shows the endings for the present indicative of the TA verbs, and the second shows the negative endings for the present indicative.
Please note that in all tables, there is a box marked "REFL", which indicates that this form is a reflexive. It will be covered elsewhere.
