  • N- prefixation occurred in the proto-language and in more recent times (though present productivity is uncertain). Note Tabaru aeme (to lick), from PNNH *laḋem and Tabaru ngaeme (tongue). This process could have only happened after Tabaru lost l, which cannot be too old (c.f. Tabaru caana (pants) and Tabaru saaka (silver)).
