Thematic
Position 6: Thematic Prefixes (derivational)
This position identifies two themes. The first is the `ghe' thematic prefix which is associated with "actions which involve many varied smaller actions of a similar type, or a series of movements," (Tenenbaum 1978:156). Morphemes in this position are, therefore, used with certain verb stems which convey that type of meaning such as `to work', `to draw a diagram', or `to paddle a canoe'.
ghe = individual actions of a series
ze = individual actions of a series
