 Compared with verbs, coverbs are far more numerous and far more semantically rich.Verbs express simple, broad meanings such as "yu-" 'be', "ya-" 'go' and "di-" 'come', while coverbs convey more specific, semantically narrow meanings such as "barnhbarn-na" 'make footprints', "lerdongh-nga" 'play (a didgeridoo)' or "murr-ma" 'wade through shallow water using your feet to search for something'.Coverbs however, cannot inflect for person and cannot, in themselves, head finite clauses.
