In Synja Khanty, the verbal morphology indicates the person and number of the subject (Sg, Du, Pl), tense, mood, voice, and the number of the object (Sg, Du, Pl). With second and third person dual subjects, and dual and plural objects in the objective (determinate) conjugation, the present and past tense indicative verb forms are syncretistic (­ǝln and ­ǝlǝn). The -aln imperative suffix of the objective (determinate) conjugation may refer to second person dual and plural subjects, and singular, dual and plural objects (Onina 2009: 37‒40).
