Negation is (in our data so far) most frequently expressed as part of a polyexponent verbal suffix. Verbal negation does not seem separable syntactically from TAM marking.

A negative imperative does exist; see the notes on this under Imperatives and Hortatives.

Nominal negation is attested (with proclitic or prefix jege) but this is under-researched for the time being.
