I was just stopped (passive voice, 1st past). Negatives. Wikarēs. = I will stop (positive, future tense). Wikakarēs. = I will not stop (negative, future tense). Questions. Hompetv = to eat; nake = what. Hompetskes. = You are eating. Hompetskv? = Are you eating? (expecting a yes or no answer) Naken hompetska? = What are you eating? (expecting a long answer) Verbs with irregular plurals Some Muscogee verbs, especially those involving motion, have highly irregular plurals: letketv = to run, with a singular subject, but tokorketv = to run of two subjects and pefatketv = to run of three or more. Stative verbs Another entire class of Muscogee verbs is the stative verbs, which express no action, imply no duration, and provide only description of a static condition. In some languages, such as English, they are expressed as adjectives. In Muscogee, the verbs behave like adjectives but are classed and treated as verbs. However, they are not altered for the person of the subject by an affix, as above; instead, the prefix changes: enokkē = to be sick; enokkēs = he / she is sick; cvnokkēs = I'm sick; cenokkēs = you are sick. Locative prefixes Prefixes are also used in Muscogee for shades of meaning of verbs that are expressed, in English, by adverbs in phrasal verbs. For example, in English, the verb to go can be changed to to go up, to go in, to go around, and other variations. In Muscogee, the same principle of shading a verb's meaning is handled by locative prefixes: Example: vyetv = to go (singular subjects only, see above); ayes = I am going; ak-ayes = I am going (in water / in a low place / under something); tak-ayes = I am going (on the ground); oh-ayes = I am going (on top of something). However, for verbs of motion, Muscogee has a large selection of verbs with a specific meaning: = to go out; = to go through. Switch-reference Clauses in a sentence use switch-reference clitics to co-ordinate their subjects. The clitic -t on a verb in a clause marks that the verb's subject is the same as that of the next clause. The clitic -n marks that verb's subject is different from the next clause. Possession In some languages, a special form of the noun, the genitive case, is used to show possession. In Muscogee this relationship is expressed
