That's exactly how Rokbeigalmki verb conjugation works, by affixing a
"subject-tense complex", meaning a pronoun with a tense vowel attached,
to the verb.  For example:

MANOI = food, eating
AZ = i
+OI = present routine tense

AZOI-MANOI = i (routinely) eat

Without a verb attached, a subject tense complex has a built-in meaning
of "to be", "to do", or "to be located at", and it always comes at the
end of the sentence.

"Suddaaghre azá." =  I'm (immediately) tired. ( = to be)
"Ha'ezoi-mwe wa'Tólosed?" "Azóí." =  "Do you go to Tolosed?" "I do." ( =
to do)
"Pawa ezú?" =  Where were you?
