ilohi•lohᐉᘣᑋPARTit is not
  

This is placed after an affirmative main verb to negate it. For some verbs this is the only form of negation. For others, negation is more typically expressed by a special negative form of the verb. It is also sometimes used with the optative affirmative of the main verb to express prohibition or a negative suggestion.
