%X This paper addresses FU constructions in Saam¨¢ka. FU constructions are composed of a lexical or auxiliary verb and the complementizer/preposition fu. They convey an aspectual or modality reading. FU constructions have a fixed position in the TMA sequence, and they are placed in between the core TMA morphemes of Saam¨¢ka. In this paper, I show that verbs in FU constructions are restructuring verbs and therefore they have a mono-clausal structure.
