aux:opt: optative auxiliary

This is a subtype of aux, used for the optative auxiliary катк.

The optative 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:opt for all forms and uses of the highly suppletive optative auxiliary paradigm and particles.


aux:opt in other languages: [mdf] [myv]
