eventuality marker , as seen in (2), resulting in . This is used to refer to events that have not happened yet, and alone simply refers to those that have not happened. Clausal negation in Wuvulu can be further divided into clausal (the negation of an entire clause), and constituent (the negation of a particular constituent within a clause). For clausal negation the word occurs before the clause being negated. An example of this is found below. {| | (3) ||Lomi |lagu-na-bigi-bigi |suta |- | ||neg||3dl-real-rd-work |taro garden |- | || colspan="6" |'The two were not working the taro garden.' |} For constituent negation, can also function as a negator, as can the word . In both cases, the word occurs directly before the constituent being negated. Examples of each marker are below. {| | (4) ||Lomi |na-'aida |hara-na, |yoi |ma'ua |meni |Beatau |- | ||neg||real-know |name-3s |2s |but |this |propn |- | || colspan="10" |'You do not know his name, but this is Beatau.' |} {| | (5) ||agu-a-di-poni |aba |tafi-u |meni |ua |hani'u |- | ||ldl-irr-adv-run |neg |sister-ls |this |but |demon |- | || colspan="9" |'Let's leave. This isn't my sister, but (a) devil.' |} A negated clause using is often coordinated by the conjunction to a contrastive positive clause. Examples of with and without this contrastive clause are (5) and (6) respectively. {| | (6) ||ma |agia |aba |ale- 'ei |- | ||and||no |neg |like- Pl |- | || colspan="7" |'But no—it's not like that.' |} Clausal and constituent negation are frequently used to express negative conditions, as seen twice in (7). {| | (7) ||ma |naba |lomi |lagu-na-fi-siba-i |lagu |ei |fi-tafi |lomi |i-ma-mara |fei |Haua |- | ||and||if |neg |3dl-real-rcpr-anger-hrm |two |the |rcpr-sister-hrm |neg |3s-rd-dry |the |propn |- | || colspan="14" |'And if the two hadn't been cross— the two sisters, Haua wouldn't have been created.' |} Note that the word appears to occur in free variation with . It can be seen below in (8) in which it functions as a clausal negator. However, according to Hafford (1999), this free variation may require further research before it can be confirmed. {| | (8) ||lo'e |fau-fau-na |- | ||neg||rd-power-3s |- | || colspan="5" |'He did not have power.' |} Possession Possession in Wuvulu can be indicated in two ways: either by a bound possessor suffix attached to the head noun of a noun phrase, or by
