Comment:
This sentence is taken from a narrative told by Pedru Pɛ͂y. With non-stative verbs, the present-tense habitual reading is expressed with the base form of the verb preceded by the particle tə, as in the above example tə li͂pa. As shown in Example 39, certain stative verbs, such as sab 'know', do not appear with tə in the affirmative.
