Usage notes[edit]

• It replaces the use of ya in sentences where a Class II subject marker cannot be used. It never takes any subject markers.
• It cannot be used alone and must always be used with verb endings such as -tok, -taam, -a'chi, etc.
• 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).
