Saying 'He does not...' Where a Receiver is Present

The same pattern for He does not VERB that you know (i.e. Éwe lis VERB) is used regardless of whether there is a receiver to the verb or not. Note how this can combine with the -es ending used on the verb whenever a third person (he/she/it or a noun) acts on a receiver: 


(1) Éwe lis tá:metes te swíyeqe the slhá:lí.

The man did not call the woman. 


This is not really a new pattern. It's just a matter of putting together the pattern éwe is... together with the -es ending used on verb where a third person doer acts on a receiver.
