Kiravic has few verbs, so many actions are expressed through noun-verb couplets (compare the English examples "eat dinner" vs. "dine", "make a sale" vs. "sell"). For example, "to push" in Kiravic is ''va stugon'' (lit. "do a push"), "to welcome" is ''tá rædor'' (lit. "to give welcome"). The second, or indirect, object, which does not form part of the couplet, is marked in the '''indirect''' case, indicated by the suffix ''-m'' for Form I and Form II nouns, and ''-nt'' or ''-d'' for Form III nouns. | Kiravic has few verbs, so many actions are expressed through noun-verb couplets (compare the English examples "eat dinner" vs. "dine", "make a sale" vs. "sell").
