−	~~== Verbs ==~~
−
−	~~=== Verbal Agreement Case Marking ===~~
−
−	Akachenti's pronominal case agreement system is similar to that of [https://www.vjf.cnrs.fr/sedyl/amerindia/articles/pdf/A_32_10.pdf natlang Kotiria], where argument/slot order initially determined case and marked case eventually permitted free order constrained by topicalization.
−
−	~~==== Unmarked Order ====~~
−
−	~~Synchronically, unmarked order is:~~
−
−	~~::: topic/patientive + <small>VERB ROOT</small> + agentive~~
−
−	~~In cases where topic is not conflated with one of the first two core arguments—nominative or accusative—the default order shifts to:~~
−
−	~~::: topic + patientive + <small>VERB ROOT</small> + agentive~~
−
−	indicating a diachronic conditioned merger of the topic and patientive slots. Significantly, this order is only valid for intransitive and transitive verbs. Verbs with more than two referents marked on the verb utilize various hierarchical combinations of person and case marking across all available slots to indicate multiple objects.
−
−	~~Even in cases where only two core arguments are marked on the verb, unmarked order is not always possible.~~
−
−	~~==== Accusative-Possessive ====~~
−
−	~~The modern accusative-possessive is marked by a glottalic accent vowel in the case of simple markers. This is a reduced form of the original accusative-possessive affix.~~
−
−	~~==== Patientive-Oblique ====~~
−
−	The modern patientive-oblique is marked by a raised mid-tone vowel. This may be an actual alternation fallback or a reduced form of an original dative affix. In its marking of relative clauses, there is evidence it may have also reduced from a genitive affix.
−
−	~~=== The Copula ===~~
−
−	Thus far, we posit Pre-Modern Akachenti copular forms of ''se:'', "to be", and the nominalized ''sen'', "what (one) is". The fact that the copula almost always takes alternate vowel forms rather than glottalic tone indicates an underlying long vowel affecting neighboring syllables despite being mutable, pronounced with a mid-tone and short.
