The prefix converying mood can also convey event pronominals - inflecting for the person and number of the participant in intransitive verbs, and in transitive verbs, the person and number for both participants. The event pronominals are often not required to parse a sentence, though when they are included, they change depending on the mood prefix. Mood is also not mandatory to parse a sentence, so when mood is not inflected for, the event pronominals change.
The following tables show the markings for intransitive verbs in regards to bare event pronominals, bare mood, and combined event pronominals and mood.
