 Negation is semantically straightforward, but is expressed with a complex set of affixes; which is used depends on other properties of the verb.Other processes, which may be characterized as derivational rather than inflectional, express duration/repetition, passivity/reflexivity, reciprocality, and causativity on the verb.Likewise, nouns may be derived from verbs by adding the suffix ("-n ~ -Vn"), as in "werne-kebe-n" ‘food-gatherer’ or "werne-la-an" ‘food-spearer’; the negative counterpart of this is ("-jarr"), as in "dangka-be-jarr" (man+bite+neg) ‘non-biter-of-people’.
