In Hateruma, each plainform of verbs corresponds to each syntactic function, that is, a predicate of the main clause, adnominal clause, or adverbial clause. Therefore, it seems that each form can be classified asfinite, participle, and converb. However,thisis not the case when some clitics attachto a certainparticiple,called“bareparticiple”in this paper.This paper providesa description of verb forms and its functions,distinguishingplainverb formsfromverbswith cliticsto show that some clitics provide bareparticipleswith new functions. The author suggests that in Hateruma, the practice of classifyingverbs in terms of correspondence between forms and functionsneeds further discussion especially for participles, since thesyntactic functions of bareparticiples cannot be determined simply from plainverb forms.
