Verb

 * 1) to be (something)

Usage notes

 * It cannot be used by itself and must always have a preceding noun that names what it or the person "is".
 * It can only be used with a Class II subject marker.
 * Ya is never used with N prefixes.
 * It can be used with verb suffixes such as -tok, -taam, -a'chi, etc.
 * For sentences where a Class II subject marker is not needed or cannot be used, then the verb root oo can be used instead.
 * For the future tense, a'chi can be used as a standalone word rather than a suffix completely replacing the use of a verb and having the meaning "will be". Similarly, a'ni, "might be" could possibly work in a similar fashion, replacing the presence of an explicit verb as well, although it is not normally used in sentences expressing being something.
 * The prefix hoo- is never used with any forms of the verb "to be" (ya, oo, a'chi).
 * To ask questions such as "Is it a/an....", see the entries for the noun suffixes -to̠ (used after consonants) and -hto̠ (used after vowels).
