o-

1. The contracted form of the -a of association particle combined with the ku- prefix of the infinitive when deriving adjectives from verbs.

This contraction only occurs with polysyllabic verbs. Monosyllabic verbs do not contract when the associative prefix is added in front. This is why chakudya is not "chodya".

Paas in the Oxford Chichewa Dictionary (OCD) says that this contraction forms verbal adjectives. Whilst this is true, as Peace Corps Chichewa Course Book 2 does the same, the OCD also shows these verbal adjectives being used as nouns.

See notes on prefix 1.
