This paper examines the usage and meanings of the Kyrgyz auxiliary verb tašta- 'to throw away', showing that tašta- can only be combined with verbs that have certain characteristics. Moreover, in the -I(p) tašta- and -A/-y tašta- forms, tašta- almost always follows a volitional verb whose meaning includes an action causing an irreversible change in the object, such as 'kill, cut, split, destroy, annihilate, blow'. Contrariwise, in the -A/-y tašta- form, tašta- rarely appears immediately after a lexical verb, instead mostly appearing in the double auxiliary verb construction, "V1 AUX1 AUX2." The auxiliary verbs appearing as AUX1 show certain tendencies. Only seven auxiliary verbs appear as AUX1: koy- 'to put', al- 'to take', ǰiber- 'to send', iy- 'to bend', sal- 'to put', kal- 'to remain', and ket- 'to leave'. However, whereas the lexical verbs that appear with double auxiliary verbs where AUX1 is koy- 'to put', al- 'to take', ǰiber- 'to send', iy- 'to bend', or sal- 'to put' are transitive, when AUX1 is kal- 'to remain' or ket- 'to leave', the preceding lexical verbs are intransitive. |
