Interesting way for verbs (IMHO)

Sorry if you thought I made up a new inventive system for verbs, but I
didn't know a better title for this message.


Anyway, I was working on my verbs for Saalangal, and I wanted to have the
perfect tenses for interest, for my edification, and I came up with this
idea:

1. Take the word denoting posession: d=F3lat. It's not considered a verb
because it does not conjugate (ever).

2. Link it to a verb conjugated in a given tense. For instance, past tens=
e
(reflexive) for
"to wash (oneself)": kanidaks=E1pes (the form for "washed" is:  daks=E1pe=
s.
Kani- is the
prefix for reflexives.

3. Add the two together with a linker: nu/ng, and you get: "D=F3lat nu
kanidaks=E1pes" - Had washed (oneself).

To say: I had washed (myself) today, you say: D=F3lat nu kanidaks=E1pes =E9=
san
ngat=EDn. (lit. Have/posessing      [linker]       washed-reflexive      =
I =20
  today)

I know, it's a lot like how it's formed in English and Spanish, but, it
works for me.

Anyway, hopefully i'll get some replies to this.
