According to Ubryatova[1], it might be accusative case of -быт participle. For example, "Уйбаан сылдьыбытын кини кэпсээбэтэх" - She/he didn't tell about Ivan was there. And ones with an extra {A}н seems to be instrumental case of the same participle. For example, "Биир сарсыарда почтальон кинини көрбүтүнэн киирдэ" - One morning a postman went inside watching her/him.
Can BIт take other cases? What about possessive suffixes? Could you provide some example forms of these as well?
Yes, it can take other cases and possessive suffixes as well: "Үҥсүү киирбитигэр милиция кэлбит" - When a complaint was received, police came. "Хоту участок дьоно кэлбэтэхтэриттэн уопсай мунньах буолбатах" - Due to the fact that people from the northern section did not appear, the general meeting did not take place.
This has been dealt with; we now get e.g.
^кэлбитин/кэл<v><iv><ger_past><px3sg><acc>$
^олорбутун/олор<v><iv><ger_past><px3sg><acc>$
There are a number of what appear to be verb forms in {B}{I}т{I}н in the corpus. What do these mean / how are these used?
Note the ones with an extra {A}н.
