1) The animate 3rd person inflections are only used when the animacy of the subject needs to be emphasised. Otherwise, the neutral 3rd singular is used.
*) Same-time forms may be formed from any indicative form by adding the ending -mo directly to the inflected form.
**) The evidentiality markers -dɨ, -za and -ta may be added to any indicative form.
