Verbal negation
V 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
N negation is attested (with proclitic jege=) but this is under-researched for the time being.
Adjectival and Adverb "negation"
Antonymic As are formed from Vs by way of the derivational suffix -eer, e.g. ʄiʄ "to be clever"; ʄiʄu "clever"; ʄiʄeer "stupid" (067).
