This morpheme occurs with all common nouns and verbs beginning with a consonant, when they are not marked for TAM and/or person. After a short presentation of the morpho-phonemic features of the prefix (Section 2) I will show that common nouns, but not personal nouns, take this prefix. I will then discuss verbs exhibiting $ prefix (Section 3). In Section 4, I will explain the syntax of this morpheme and show that it enables common nouns and verbs to access the functions to which personal nouns have direct access.
