"Ju" is the terminative aspect. No tense is necessary since it has already been implied by "pyoma".


More specifically, according to Appendix A, all words (except anaphora) contain a root, which in turn ends in a classifier.  

Thus, a root morpheme and a root are defined as follows:
   root-morpheme ::= modifier | classifier
   root ::= {modifier} classifier
Finally, words have the following forms:
   word ::= {prefix} root {suffix}
   anaphor ::= root-morpheme h part-of-speech-vocalic-nucleus
