Notes:

Unlike most Older Kraliy verbs, mɨm cannot take any direct-object affixes.

The verb is used for noun-noun copula (X is Y; with both arguments in nominative case) and to express location or existence (to be at, there to be). Adjective-noun copula is handed with verb-like adjectives instead.

Unlike its descendants, Older Kraliy does not allow zero copula.

Sample usage:

lɨhpɨˈlɐhtə tuː mɨˈəh ˈiːsjən, plɨh mjɐh ˈpɨːmɐ l kuˈnuːn.

a man, the master, makes the wool of the sheep into a warm garment for himself.
