I seem to remember reading that only languages that are consistently
verb-final place auxilaries meaning things like "want" after the verb.
Altho, Uatakassi suffixes auxilaries (including "want"). I explain that
as being incorporation, the head verb is actually made into part of the
verb, just as an instrumental *noun* can be incorporated into the verb.
