Detail #269: An Idea for Conegative Verbs

Finnish style negative verb; however, the conegative verb is always in some case. The oblique case varies lexically (mostly by the verb, but sometimes by considerations by transitivity, and possibly aspect). So, for instance,
I eat
I not at eating

I sing
I not with singing

he runs
he nots running(nominative!)

you find things
he not find(acc) things(acc)

you slept
you not.past sleep(gen)

I think
I not think(instr)
