AUX: auxiliary verb

Definition

Auxiliary verbs (AUX), which add functional and grammatical meaning to the sentence, expressing tense, aspect, mood, etc., can be of two types: (a) those which accompany the nominal paradigm (e.g. სახლში ‘smb. is at home’ etc.) and (b) those which accompany the verbal paradigm (e.g. დავხტივვარ ‘I am jumping’ etc.). In both cases, auxiliaries can act either as clitics or as separate words. Verb forms that can be syntactically independent of a host while attaching to its stem include the first, second and third-person forms of the auxiliary verb ‘to be’.
