It is of great interest to see that whenever the verb is inflected with an auxiliary 
verb, the latter takes the endings of the intransitive verb, while the transitive verb 
retains the incorporated object. This is the case also in the dialects of the coast, 
and in Shushwap, but I have not given a paradigm, as I have no complete set of 
forms in the other dialects. |
