sveikatą – Working [for a long time] like that one can damage one’s health. This function allows be- to be used as a dummy prefix for reflexive present tense participles. In that case the reflexive formant moves right after the prefix, thus avoiding the formation of a complex reflexive ending: džiaũgtis – to rejoice → džiaũgiantisis – the one (, nominative) who rejoices, but more commonly: besidžiaũgiantis. Other forms besides nominative (džiaũgiančiasis – the ones (, accusative) who rejoice) are not used at all in favour of besidžiaũgiančias etc. – may be interrupted (see "Inchoative tenses"); – is restrictive (a combination of English "only" and "still"): Ligoninėje jį motina beaplanko – Only his mother still visits him to the hospital. te- indicates: – that an action of a verb is restrictive (equivalent of English "only"): Ligoninėje jį motina teaplanko – Only his mother visits him to the hospital; – the 3rd person of the imperative mood (see "Imperative mood"). tebe- indicates that an action of a verb is still ongoing (equivalent of English "still"): Ligoninėje jį motina tebeaplanko – His mother still visits him to the hospital. nebe- indicates that an action of a verb is no longer ongoing (equivalent of English "no longer"): Ligoninėje jo motina nebeaplanko – His mother no longer visits him to the hospital. A verb cannot acquire more than one prefix, except for ne-, te-, be-, nebe- or tebe-. Only very few words are exception from this. The indicator of reflexion -si is used between the prefix and the root if the verb is prefixed, e. g. nẽšasi but nusìneša, atsìneša laikýtis but susilaikýti, pasilaikýti teiráutis but pasiteiráuti The same rule is applied, when ne-, be-, nebe-, te- or tebe- is added: nẽšasi but nesìneša, nebesìneša, also nenusìneša, neatsìneša, tebeatsìneša laikýtis, but nesilaikýti, also nesusilaikýti, nepasilaikýti teiráutis but nesiteiráuti, also nepasiteiráuti Stress retraction Certain Lithuanian verbs have the ability to move their stress to the last prefixed element they acquire. General stress retraction principles are laid down below. All prefixes (including ne- type, but not including the prefix per-) acquire the stress only in: past simple tense forms of primary (monosyllabic stem) verbs. This always happens when the 3rd person has an -ė ending, its stress would normally fall on its penultimate syllable and this syllable has a short vowel or a rising tone: baũsti (to punish, monosyllabic stem verb) → baũdė (stress on the
