Um Verbs

Like MAG- verbs, UM verbs are actor focus verbs.  Actor-focus verbs mark the actor as the subject by placing an ang marker before the actor or by using the ang  pronoun for its subject

Unlike MAG- which is simply prefixed to the verb root, -UM- is infixed and prefixed, depending on whether the verb root begins with a vowel or a consonant.   It either case, -UM- precedes the first vowel of the root:.  Here is an example of a consonant-initial verb root [KANTA] that takes the affix –UM- to form the infinitive (to sing).

            CONSONANT-INITIAL VERB ROOT:
       ROOT               >            kanta                 (sing)
       First vowel:                        k A nta
       UM preceeding it:               kUMA nta
       Thus:                           kumanta                        (to sing)

 

Completed:             kumanta      here, action has begun -  therefore um is affixed;  and action has ended therefore, no duplication of 1st syllable of root occurs
Incompleted :            kumakanta   here, action has begun – um is affixed;  and action has not ended - duplicated 1st syllable occurs
Contemplated:            kakanta    here, action has not begun – um is absent; and action has not ended - duplicated 1st syllable occurs

VOWEL-INITIAL VERB ROOT: The affix UM is placed before the first vowel of the root. Affixation is similarly formed as with consonant initial verb roots. Kanta and Inom, Kumanta and Uminom, Kumakanta and Umiinom, Kakanta and iinom share the same affixation and duplication processes for all three aspects.

          ROOT:                           Inom                        (drink)
       First vowel:                        I _ _ _
       UM preceeding it:               UM I _ _ _
       Thus:                           uminom                        (to drink)
