u-

vb. "not do, not be" 1st pers. aorist uin "I do not, am not", pa.t. úmë UGU/UMU. A late ca. 1968 source gives the forms uin, uinyë “I am not”, uilyë *”you are not”, uis “it is not”, uilmë *”we are not”, uir “are not” and endingless ui *”is not” VT49:29, 36; these forms were however struck out. The example uin carë “I don’t” PE17:68 combines this negative verb with a following verb in the “simplest aorist infinitive”. Compare ua in another late source. See also ui, which despite its use as an interjection “no” seems to be the endingless 3rd person aorist.
