Remoteness distinction in past and future tenses are formed through reduplication. The future tense is expressed with an auxiliary verb, so the reduplication doesn't count as productive. With the past, the tense suffix itself is reduplicated, so it doesn't count either. |

in fact, the verbal agreement for 3>3 present forms of verbs do use a form of partial reduplication(prefixing the last consonant of the verb stem to the verb stem itself, when the verb stem is ended with a vowel, other rules are used(depending on whether the verb stem is ended with -e/-e: -o/-o: -a/-a: or -ra:), but they can be seen as variants of this partial reduplication rule) as well as the disfix of the last sound of the verb, an epenthetic vowel "i" may also be used in the reduplication process. for example, the present 3>3 form of the verb "nam"("to hold") is "mina", and the present 3>3 form of the verb "k-nam"("to hold") is "k-mina"(where the k- is a coverb, it is usually seperated from the stem and may take its own affixes in actual speech).
