Gevey verbs can be inflected for the following:
» bound prepositions (all intransitive verbs must be accompanied by at least one preposition, either bound to an oblique object, or to the verb itself)
» conjugation type (which changes according to the grammatical and semantic content of the surrounding clause)
» tense
» subject 'status' (simple, internal, external, inanimate)
» subject number (singular, paucal, plural) |
| Mîrkšam |
Myrkçam verbs are conjugated to agree with their subjects in person (exclusive first, inclusive first, second, present but not addressed, proximate, obviate, or hypothetical) and number (singulative, transnumeral, or plural).
Verbs mark three tenses (past, present, and future), three aspects (perfective, imperfective, and inchoative), and seven moods (indicative, imperative, subjunctive, potential, negative, participial, and infinitive). The prefices of a verb are always attached in the order aspect-tense-mood-number-person, resulting in a final construction in the reverse order: person-number-mood-tense-aspect-stem.
Thus, there are five categories per word. |
