The Repetitive Conjugation

In Oneida, a pre-pronominal prefix is used to indicate something "being the case again" and also "not being the case anymore". Below are a number of examples. The prefix that is added is dependent on the letter that it comes before. The rules are:

w, h, l, k: the prefix is s
y: the prefix is ts
some consonant clusters: the prefix is se or tsi
t: the prefix is tsi
