Inflection

Usage notes

  • The inflection of this verbal form is akin to a defective verb (in the third person singular) followed by object pronoun affixes.
When referring to possession, the inflected form is followed by a noun:
Ikollni ktieb -- I will get (have) a book
When meaning "will have to", each inflected form is followed by a corresponding conjugated form of the sense verb in the imperfective:
Ikollna niġu -- We will have to go/We must go
