I should have added that the Stative conjugation
takes an entirely different set of pronouns (a
feature common to area languages), which in
Talarian are borrowed from Anian, the local
classical language. To compare:

      Talarian            Anian
      ACT       STAT      STAT       ACT

1s    akâ       has       xats       quasdiñ

I.e., the wool is lacking itself to the sheep.
