When a nominative immediately follows the verb, the pronominal suffix is generally dropped, unless required by euphony.

Thus, "a man strikes" is _dak klaftas_, but in the past tense, _dakny klaftas_, the verb without the suffix being unpronounceable.

The past tense is formed by the insertion of _n_ (_avna_: "I have been"), the future by _m_: _avma_.
