Verbs are inflected for past or non-past tense. In each new spoken
sentence, the inflections alternate: if "-ad" is past in the Nth sentence
spoken, it was non-past in the N-1th sentence and past in the N-2nd
sentence. This rotation continues backward from the last sentence in a
conversation or monologue, in which past is always "-ad".
The language includes syllabic /g/ and /b/.
