==== Aspectual particles ====
Verbs are required to be preceeded by an aspectual particle, which conveys information about the aspect (e.g. perfect, imperfect, habitual) and/or mood (e.g. realis, irrealis, imperative) of the verb. Tense is not marked by verb particles, being usually implicit, although there is a set of auxiliary verbs used to specify tense more precisely.
