The potential predicate is formed through suffixation of the potential suffixes /e/ and /rare/. The allomorph is determined by the phonological shape of the verb root. When the verb root ends with a consonant, /e/ is selected. For the other cases, /rare/ is selected. The allomorph /rare/ optionally undergoes deletion of /ra/ and it is realized as /re/. The potential 1 construction describes the ability of the agent. The case frame of this construction is the same as that of the corresponding active sentence. In Standard Japanese potential constructions, the subject may be case-marked in the dative. On the other hand, in this dialect, this type of case alternation does not occur. This alternation does not change the valency.
