Aspect
Arka has 5 aspects; preingressive, ingressive, progeressive, perfect, continuous.
Like tenses, aspects are expressed with an adverb or a suffix.
The frequent aspects are progressive, perfect and continuous. They are expressed with a suffix.
Preingressive means "be likely to do" and is expressed with an adverb "sat."
Ingressive is expressed with an adverb "kit."
Progressve is expressed with a suffix "-or." It becomes "-r" when the verb ends up with a vowel.
Perfect is expressed with a suffix "-ik." It becomes "-k" when the verb ends up with a vowel.
in = see -> inik = have seen
Continuous means "the action caused by the verb leaves an impression on something," not "the action is still underway."
e.g. sab = put on -> sabes = wear (not be putting on)
Continuous is expressed with a suffix "-es." It becomes "-s" when the verb ends up with a vowel.
The Aspects of "skin" (sit).
skin sat = he made up his mind to take a seat
skin kit = he starts bending his knees
skinor = his hip is approaching to the seat
skinik = his hip is now on the seat.
skines = he is sitting
If you don't attach any adverbs or suffixes to the verb, then the verb is aspectless.
e.g. "esk" (to rain). Aspectless is, however, an aspect that covers from ingressive to perfect.
These 5 aspects are basic ones.
Actually, Arka has 7 aspects.
