INTRODUCTION
This Glossary of K’eqchi’ Verbs is built upon the verbs found in “Sedat’s K’eqchi’ and Spanish
dictionary” from 1,955. It contains all Infinitive verbs that have been so far standardized for use in
formal writing. However, this list does not yet include all verbs existing in the K’eqchi’ language.
There is still an unknown number of verbs that need to be compiled, verified, and documented
from different sources (written or oral). More verbs will be added to this glossary as this is an
ongoing compilation process.
INFINITIVE VERBS
All Infinitive Verbs in KC have only the property of intransitive verbs. There are not infinitive
verbs yet that can be used transitively in KC grammar. This glossary of infinitive verbs includes
STRICTLY INTRANSITIVE VERBS (precursor) and VARIABLE INTRANSITIVE VERBS (still forming today). Variable
Intransitive is just a label used here to refer to a group of verbs that contain transitive and intran-
sitive forms; and derive past participle, and present participle forms.
Strictly intransitive verbs (SINT) are those that do not have any other form than an irregular form
(only some verbs), or very rarely a transitive form. These verbs are restricted to AP constructions
and the continuous aspect. They can be used as nonfinite verbs. They could be called precursor
or old intransitives.
Variable intransitive verbs (VINT) are characterized by their varied forms and uniformity. Thus,
one group of verbs is distinguished by its -v+k ending (disyllable). They can be used in AP construc-
tions (including agent focus and incorporating) and the continuous aspect in their infinitive form.
They derive a transitive form for transitive constructions.
Another group of verbs is distinguished by its -v+nk ending (polysyllable). They can be used in
Agent Focus and Incorporating AP constructions and the continuous aspect in their infinitive form.
They also derive a transitive form for use in transitive constructions. Likewise, they derive another
intransitive form for most AP constructions like the ones (disyllable) mentioned above.
CHARACTERISTICS
Following are some aspects and general characteristics of KC infinitive verbs that need to be noted.
• Strictly intransitive verbs end with the consonant k preceded either with a vowel, a long
vowel or another consonant other than n. EXAMPLES: ajk, b’aayk, cab’lak, k’ajk, ajok, canaak,
usaak, etc. Some may end with the consonants -nk preceeded by a long vowel. EXAMPLES:
b’atz’uunk, c’uluunk, tz’aqoonk, etc.
• A lot of strictly intransitive verbs are irregular. That is, they are changed when used in AP
constructions. E.G. ajk → aj; calaak → calaa, eelk → el, etc.
• Variable intransitive verbs comprise most infinitive verbs in KC. They are still forming.
Verbs under this group end either with the consonant k preceded by a vowel OR with the
consonants -nk preceded by a long vowel. EXAMPLES: b’anok, cua’ak, c’uluk, ab’iink, ajlaank,
b’anuunk, cuaklesiink, etc.
VI
• Infinitive verbs can have one, two, three or more syllables. ONE SYLLABLE: c’ayk, c’iik, eelk;
TWO SYLLABLES: ajlaank, b’ach’ok, b’anuunk; THREE OR MORE SYLLABLES: canab’aank, tikob’resi-
ink.
• Several consonant sounds in KC are represented using an apostrophe in writing by conven-
tion. These consonants are b’, c’, ch’, k’, t’, and tz’. Thus, verbs (and nouns, adjectives,
etc.) in KC may have any of these consonants at the beginning, middle or end of a syllable
to represent any of these sounds, with or without a vowel. Up to three of these consonants
may be found in a verb, E.G., c’ach’ab’aank, ch’ajb’ilob’resiink. The omission of the apos-
trophe in any of these consonants will cause its sound, and thus meaning of the verb con-
taining it, to change completely as seen further below.
• Infinitive verbs may have similar writing, thus a misspelling, or the omission or wrong po-
sition of an apostrophe can change their meaning and pronunciation. Several cases where
verbs can be similar and subject to misspelling and confusion are:
o When the consonants c’ and k’ are not used correctly due that they represent dif-
ferent sounds in similar verbs: E.G., c’ashoonk – k’ashoonk; c’ab’aiink – k’ab’aiink;
pac’ok – pak’ok; sic’ok – sik’ok, etc.
o When two verbs are written the same, but one has a consonant with an apostro-
phe, resulting in different pronunciation and meaning. COMMON EXAMPLES: chajok
- ch’ajok; chupuk - ch’upuk; cotzok - c’otzok; cuechok - cuech’ok; ketok – k’etok;
putzuk – putz’uk; setok – set’ok; sutuk – sut’uk; chiqok - ch’iqok; cutuk - c’utuk;
jitok - jit’ok, etc.
o When the location of the apostrophe on a different consonant changes the mean-
ing and pronunciation in a verb with the same writing. EXAMPLES: ch’ikok - chik’ok;
c’ukuk - cuk’uk; t’ob’ok - tob’ok, etc.
o When three verbs are apparently similar, but they have different spellings and pro-
nunciations. EXAMPLE: toqok - t’oqok - t’okok.
• The consonants c’, k’ and q have always been confused in KC writings and translations. It
is very important to know how to use these consonants according to their pronunciation
in KC as they are written in this glossary.
• The consonant b per se does not exist in KC. Instead, the phoneme b’ is used to represent
a bilabial ɓ (voiced implosive, IPA).
• A stop in the sound in vowels is represented with an apostrophe (saltillo), e.g.: ha’lesiink,
ula’ank, se’ek, tyo’laak, jo’ok, etc.
• Precursor intransitive verbs may be giving way to other verbs with transitive properties
whenever the action allows it, E.G., atinak → atinaank; cab’lak → ca’blaank, c’alek →
c’aleenk, etc. This tendency has been observed with other verbs but have not been con-
firmed yet or have not been recognized by the speakers.
• Past participle forms are formed from variable intransitive verbs. Thus, this glossary pro-
vides one or two past participle forms for reference to build the passive voice. Each of
these verb forms has different properties. However, not all verbs can have both forms or
only one is proven likely or viable to work as participle.
VII
• A group of variable intransitive verbs is distinctive by its writing of long vowels in the last
syllable of verbs ending in -v+nk; E.G.: ajlaank, canab’aank, mataniink. This long vowel is
further used to mark the end of the transitive form of the same verb, E.G., ab’iink → ab’ii,
b’anuunk → b’anuu, ec’asiink → ec’asii, etc.
• Verbs ending in -v+nk derive their intransitive form by shortening the long vowel and drop-
ping the k so that they end in -v+n. Examples: alinasiink → alinasin; b’elaank → b’elan.
This change is uniform among all verbs and provides their semantic property to function in
AP mode. Thus, this list includes this verb form as a reference on how it should be written
upon derivation.

Each verb entry for the corresponding alphabet letter in this glossary is presented in the fol-
lowing format.

IRR – IRREGULAR INTRANSITIVE FORM
English definition of verb
The intransitive, transitive and past participle forms were first formally introduced by the au-
thor in 2,010. The rules for deriving these verb forms are outlined in K’eqchi’ Grammar – An Intro-
duction (2,010, 2013, 2019) available for free at www.keqchi.org.
This glossary of verbs is a quick reference for formal and accurate writing, and for spelling pur-
poses. Every English definition has been consulted from various sources on the web to have a wide
range of meaning equivalency and compatibility. Sometimes one, two or three definitions may
apply but mostly several definitions are available as the extent of each verb’s meaning.
