      6.4.4 Complementary Aspects Appearing in the Same Adjunct

      Note that, while any aspectual adjunct can show two different aspects, several aspect categories above operate as complements to each other. For example, the PROSPECTIVE aspect complements the RETROSPECTIVE aspect, both being essentially opposites. Such complementary aspects normally - don’t appear in the same adjunct together. If they do appear in the same + don’t appear in the same adjunct together. If they do appear in the same adjunct, they are interpreted as not applying to the same verb, i.e., the first aspect (shown by the prefix) applies to the adjacent verb, while the second aspect (shown by the suffix) applies to the next verb in the sentence. Such combinations of complementary aspects within a single adjunct can be considered - an optional “shortcut” to utilizing a separate aspectual adjunct + an optional “shortcut” to utilizing a separate aspectual adjunct with the second verb.


      6.4.5 Using Aspect Prefixes to Show Focus

      All of the aspectual prefixes shown in Table 19 above can in turn take an initial prefix y- - (or yď- + (or yď- before a w-) to show that the associated verbal formative has semantic focus (as described in Sec. 3.5), i.e., it is an alternate to the usual -w- - infix to the formative previously described in Sec. 3.5.
