aux:neg: negative auxiliary

This is a subtype of aux, used for the negative auxiliaries and particles а, аволь, апак, арась, иля, эзь.

The negative auxiliary, when attached to a predicate, typically carries some of the tense/aspect/modality suffixes as well as person/number agreement suffixes.

Although they do not function as an auxiliary when attached to non-predicate words or phrases, we use aux:neg for all forms and uses of the highly suppletive negative auxiliary paradigm and particles.
