2.8 negation
Nouns can be emphatically negated by the negative adjective (e')bet 'at all', e.g.,
(36) n ø.s (ke) b~ɑŋk bed ba ke:ɣ 'there is no bank in town'
The post-positioned negative verbal particle ke(d) can be dispensed with when (e')bet is also present in the same sentence, and is usually not found in a phrase such as
| (x) | n ø.s | d~ɛn e'bet | ~ɑmə |
| neg cop | personne ebet | ici | |
| 'there is nobody here' | |||
| [équivalent standard: N'eus den ebet amañ- ] | |||
... though the addition of ke(t)would be quite acceptable.
