Godan verbs are negated by performing an γ-stem transformation and appending the negative helper adjective γͺγ.1
Example
θ²·γ (buy) β θ²·γγͺγ (not buy)
Info
θ²·γ is transformed by shifting from the γ-stem to the γ-stem.γγͺγ is then appended to make it into the negative form.
Exceptions
- γΎγ: does not become γΎγγͺγ, it becomes γΎγγ.
- γγ: does not become γγγ£γ or γγγͺγ, it becomes γγγ£γ and γγγͺγ.
