B. Indeclinable Past Participles1
These are generally formed by adding the
suffix tva to the root. If the ending of the root is
a, it is often changed into i. Sometimes
tvaana and tuuna are also added to
the roots.
Examples:
paca + tvaa = pacitvaa, having cooked.
khipa + tvaa = khipitvaa, having thrown.
su + tvaa = sutvaa, having heard; also
sutvaana,
sotuuna.
kara2 + tvaa = katvaa, having done; also
katvaana, kaatuuna.
