Indicative

The "default" mood for most utterances; used to indicate actual events and hypotheticals.

Optative

Indicates wishes and purposes.

• Optative usage meaning "may it happen"
  • It may use the evidentiality particle taw to indicate it's counterfactual.
• Purpose usage "he went there to find his friend"
  • Tense indicate the time when the action happened (unlike English).

Quotative

Additionally, an evidentiality particle is used (usually just before the verb):

• ra: indicates something unproven (could be happening, the speaker doesn't know for sure)
• sez: confirms the fact
• taw: indicates the reported fact is false

\gla Thi wej.oy nakla ra zamm.uy.
\glb He/she.NOM say.ANIM animal.NOM 0.UNC come.QUOT.ANIM.
\ft They said an animal may be coming.

\gla Thi wej.oy cen.a sez zamm.ar.
\glb He/she.NOM say.ANIM person.PL 0.CONF come.QUOT.PL.
\ft They said people are coming, and it's been confirmed.
