loipap < le-ipe-p || go-first- || ‘go first, and then…’ |} Circumfixes can also be applied to verbs in Kilmeri. Number agreement in Kilmeri is absolutive rather than accusative. In Kilmeri, intransitive verbs, as well as the two transitive verbs ‘eat’ and ‘throw down to’, agree with subjects in number. This pattern is also present in Amanab. These verbs are: {| ! gloss !! singular !! plural |- | ‘eat’ || ni || ile |- | ‘throw down to’ || pakʊne || pakʊpi |- | ‘come’ || pule || pulupi |- | ‘die’ || sui || supuli |- | ‘go’ || le || mole |- | ‘sit’ || nake || mape |- | ‘sleep’ || nui || sapi |- | ‘speak’ || mui || molive |} However, number marking for transitive verbs, except for ‘eat’ and ‘throw down to’, refers to the number of the object, rather than the subject. {| ! gloss !! singular !! plural |- | ‘carry’ || wili || moli |- | ‘carry hanging’ || lali || laluli |- | ‘cook’ || si || sepi |- | ‘cut’ || suke || sukeli |- | ‘dig’ || rari || rararpi |- | ‘erect’ || newe || newaupi |- | ‘fetch someone’ || lakive || leki |- | ‘fill’ || norive || nororpi |- | ‘harvest’ || lapiye || lapapi |- | ‘mark’ || lopi || lopapi |- | ‘sharpen’ || merive || mererpi |- | ‘take out’ || pulive || puloli |- | ‘tear’ || pike || pikeki |} References Border languages (New Guinea) Languages of Sandaun Province
