Defined as an action done as habit or custom, it is communicated in English with "always", "usually" or "every".

The habitual in Kovol is formed of

+ Medial verb + Final verb form of igisinim.

Kovol Examples

• Neleb agamom.
  "I used to work"
• Neleb igugum.
  "I always work"
• Pugub igu.
  "He usually sits"

Potential restrictions

• Would future tense habitual make sense? Neleb igisinim?

Note on terminology

This pattern is really hard to place in a tagmemic breakdown. There are two verbs, so it should really be two clauses - but the clauses communicate a single proposition, making a single assertion.

It's probably best not to worry too much and not to be too strict in our definition.
