the west: Interrogatives The specific interrogative is also sometimes used to indicate conditional forms or other aspects. It overlaps heavily with the v/p alternative form described above: Subjects The subject of a specific verb requires a specific suffix to indicate its syntactic role: The subject of a specific verb takes the following suffixes, depending on its grammatical number: All of the suffixes above delete any consonant that immediately precedes them. For example, qajaq becomes qajaup in the singular, qajaak in the dual, and qajait in the plural when it is the subject of a specific verb. So, as an example: Objects The object of a specific verb needs no particular suffix at all. Thus, we can contrast Inuviniq takujara – I see the dead person – with the table for non-specific verbs above. Continuing the example from above: Changing verb classes Some verbs are automatically both specific and non-specific verbs, depending only on which suffixes they receive. The verb taku- – to see – is one example. However, other verbs require an additional suffix to shift classes. Many action verbs that specifically involve an actor performing an action on another are specific verbs that take the suffix -si- in order to become non-specific verbs: Many verbs of emotion alternate between the suffixes -suk- and -gi- to change whether or not they are specific: This is important when attributing an emotion to a person without designating the cause. To do so, Inuktitut always uses the non-specific form: Reflexive verbs A reflexive verb is a verb which must have both an object and a subject, but where, in some context, both the object and the subject are identical. In Inuktitut, this situation is expressed by using a specific verb but by affixing a non-specific ending to it. Verbs in secondary clauses A verb that has been fully inflected as described above is a complete proposition able to stand on its own. However, when clauses are linked in Inuktitut, a number of other morphosyntactic phenomena come into play. First, many secondary structures use other classes of verb suffixes that those used in main clauses. This article cannot cover the whole of Inuktitut morphology, especially since each class of inflexion has its own set of non-specific and specific endings and they vary significantly from dialect to dialect. The examples below are based on the North Baffin dialect. Fourth person inflection In secondary clauses, third
