Etymology
The objective template verb stem + object indicator + temporal indicator + object plurality indicator + subject indicator with all the slots filled in is expected to yield a Common-Mordvinic *kunda-s-aj2-n-zə (using as an example) "he/she/it caught them." In Erzya this produced and in Moksha &mdash;. The Erzya suffix preserves the object plurality marker -n-, Moksha does not. A false subject marker (Serebrennikov uses the word ) is added to the Moksha suffix.
