5.3.4. Aspect/Mood/Evidentiality marking on the copula/verb(-like) element
Mood is marked on copulas. In non-indicative moods the verb stem 'become' is rather used, than the basic existential verb. The example illustrates a conditional clause.
| Ha | ez | a | csont | Jánosé | len-ne... |
| if | this | the | bone | John-é | become-COND.3SG |
’If this bone were John's…’
