Negation

Generally, when negating a verb, you would add the prefix ro- or ob- to the verb. You use ro- when the following letter is a consonant and you use ob- when the following letter is a vowel. You would also add shâ- to the following noun. Modal auxiliary verbs are negated by adding gûz to the end of the verb with a hyphen. Cannot is unique amongst these. Cannot is represented by dunni. This is a word with unknown origin and possible predates the language itself. Thus, it does not follow the rules of other modal auxiliary verbs and does not have any cognates within the language.
