===Conjugation of regular verbs===
===Interrogative pronouns===
Sample verbs: as a '''class I''' verb, moɕädühä, ''to pick up, to collect'', as a '''class II''' verb, xixehühä, ''to fall'', as a '''class IIg''' verb, pürücühä, ''to hit''
Basic interrogative pronouns display two different roots:


====Active diathesis====
*<small>''quality'':</small> '''ṫjejm-'''
*<small>''quantity'':</small> '''sjowp-'''


=====Indicative mood=====
When taking a noun role, the root is usually expanded by the nominal suffix '''-e-'''.


======Present tense======
'''ṫjejm-''' '''ṫjejm-''' + '''-e-''' '''ṫjejme'''
The '''present''' is a simple tense. The personal endings are added to the present root:
  <small>''interr.'' → ''what?, who?''</small>  
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| style="width: 70px;"| || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''class I''</center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''class II''</center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''class IIg''</center>
|-
| ''<small>1<sup>st</sup> sing.</small>'' || <center>moɕädü</center> || <center>xixehü</center> || <center>pürücü</center>
|-
| ''<small>2<sup>nd</sup> sing.</small>'' || <center>moɕädir</center> || <center>xixehir</center> || <center>pürücir</center>
|-
| ''<small>3<sup>rd</sup> sing.</small>'' || <center>moɕäd́äh</center> || <center>xixeg</center> || <center>pürüc</center>
|-
| ''<small>1<sup>st</sup> plur.</small>'' || <center>moɕädunü</center> || <center>xixehunü</center> || <center>pürücunü</center>
|-
| ''<small>2<sup>nd</sup> plur.</small>'' || <center>moɕädunir</center> || <center>xixehunir</center> || <center>pürücunir</center>
|-
| ''<small>3<sup>rd</sup> plur.</small>'' || <center>moɕäduńäh</center> || <center>xixehun</center> || <center>pürücun</center>
|}
 
In the 3<sup><small>rd</small></sup> singular person, which features the ending -́äh or ''null ending'', irregularities may often occur.
 
The ending -́äh always causes ''palatalization'' of the preceding consonant, if this consonant has a palatalized counterpart.
 
rīrusühä → rīruśäh
  <small>to see → he/she/it sees</small>
 
If the involved consonant does not have any palatalized counterparts, the ending is added to the root without any further palatalizing effect.
 
The null ending causes less often irregularities, like altering the last root consonant:
 
ṕőrühä → ṕőw
<small>to fly→ he/she/it flies</small>
 
======Past tense======
The '''past''' is a simple tense. The personal endings are added to the past root:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| style="width: 70px;"| || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''class I''</center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''class II''</center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''class IIg''</center>
|-
| ''<small>1<sup>st</sup> sing.</small>'' || <center>mäɕodü</center> || <center>xexihü</center> || <center>pürücigü</center>
|-
| ''<small>2<sup>nd</sup> sing.</small>'' || <center>mäɕodir</center> || <center>xexihir</center> || <center>pürücigir</center>
|-
| ''<small>3<sup>rd</sup> sing.</small>'' || <center>mäɕod́äh</center> || <center>xexig</center> || <center>pürücig</center>
|-
| ''<small>1<sup>st</sup> plur.</small>'' || <center>mäɕodunü</center> || <center>xexihunü</center> || <center>pürücigunü</center>
|-
| ''<small>2<sup>nd</sup> plur.</small>'' || <center>mäɕodunir</center> || <center>xexihunir</center> || <center>pürücigunir</center>
|-
| ''<small>3<sup>rd</sup> plur.</small>'' || <center>mäɕoduńäh</center> || <center>xexihun</center> || <center>pürücigun</center>
|}
 
In the 3<sup><small>rd</small></sup> singular person, which features the ending -́äh or ''null ending'', irregularities may often occur.
 
The ending -́äh always causes ''palatalization'' of the preceding consonant, if this consonant has a palatalized counterpart.
 
rīrusühä rurīśäh
<small>to see → he/she/it saw</small>
 
If the involved consonant does not have any palatalized counterparts, the ending is added to the root without any further palatalizing effect.
 
The null ending causes less often irregularities, like altering the last root consonant:
 
ṕőrühä → ṕöw
<small>to fly→ he/she/it flew</small>
 
In the class IIg irregularities never occur in the past tense.
 
======Present continuous tense======

|-
| style="width: 70px;"| || style="width: 200px;"| <center>''class I''</center> || style="width: 200px;"| <center>''class II''</center> || style="width: 200px;"| <center>''class IIg''</center>

The '''future in the past''' is a compound tense. It is built with the optative past forms of the verb cänühä, ''to be'', with the active present infinitive of the conjugated verb:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| style="width: 70px;"| || style="width: 200px;"| <center>''class I''</center> || style="width: 200px;"| <center>''class II''</center> || style="width: 200px;"| <center>''class IIg''</center>

The potential widely features the infix -us-, which is placed between the root and the personal endings.
 
======Present tense======
The '''present''' is a simple tense. The infix -us- and the personal endings are added to the present root:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| style="width: 70px;"| || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''class I''</center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''class II''</center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''class IIg''</center>

=====Non-finite forms=====
The non-finite verbal forms are:
 
======Infinitive======
It is regarded as the citation form of the verb, and it is not conjugated in person or number. It has, however, an imperfective and a perfective form, respectively built on the ''imperfective root'' and on the ''perfective root''. It is marked by the ending -əjge.
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| style="width: 70px;"| || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''<small>infinitive</small>''</center>
|-
| ''<small>imperfective</small>'' || <center>mɔcedəjge</center>
|-
| ''<small>perfective</small>'' || <center>emɔcedəjge</center>
|-
|}
 
There are, however, a limited amount of verbs with irregular infinitve forms, where the infinitve ending merges with the root or is slightly altered.
petɔjge
<small>volare</small>
 
The infinitive is a nominal form of a verb and it can be declined only in the singular number. It can also be introduced by a preposition. Its basic form is regarded as the direct case. It is not adjoined by the article when it has a verbal function, while the article can be used when the function of the infinitive is strictly nominal.
 
======Participle======
The participle is an adjectival form of a verb. It isn has a passive meaning and it is linked to nouns which undergo an action, or inactively are in a certain state. It is, thus, usually not used with intransitive verbs (<small>with some of which it may take an impersonal value</small>). In verbal conjugation, it agrees with the subject in number, while it agrees also in case with its adjoining noun, displaying thus a complete declension, in its adjectival role.
 
It has, however, an imperfective and a perfective form, respectively built on the ''imperfective root'' and on the ''perfective root''. It may also take the modal infix -už-, diplaying thus a conditional form. It is marked by the ending -uǵ (<small>whose plural form is -ugi</small>). This ending very often causes irregularities, such as the lenghtening of the last root consonant or its alteration (<small>the conditional infix undergoes no alteration</small>).
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| style="width: 70px;"| || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''<small>indicative</small>''</center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center>''<small>conditional</small>''</center>
|-

|-
| ''<small>perfective</small>'' || <center>emɔcedduǵ</center> || <center>emɔcedužuǵ</center>
|-
|}
 
Besides its verbal or adjectival role, in some cases the participle may be used as noun, if preceded by the article.
 
ež emɔcedduǵ
<small>the harvest</small>
 
====Passive diathesis and impersonal form====
The ''passive diathesis'' displays a far lesser amount of forms than the active diathesis. It is formed with the participle, which distinguished only the verbal aspect and the number of the clause subject.
 
*The ''imperfective'' form of the participle is used to convey an ongoing action, mainly in the present or in the future.
*The ''perfective'' form of the participle is used to convey a completed and finished action, mainly in the past.
 
Examples:
 
ež hunno həjšeččuǵ
<small>the field is/will be cultivated</small>
 
ežno hunnono ežəjšeččugino
<small>the fields were cultivated</small>


Intransitive verbs do not have a proper passive diathesis, but they may have a participial form. This form is used with an ''impersonal'' value, instead of a passive one.
* '''ṫjejmewa''': where (<small>static location</small>)
* '''ṫjejmeʈu''': where (<small>motion toward</small>)
* '''ṫjejmeno ''': why (<small>cause</small>)


hišegguǵ
These forms, while broadly undefined in their meaning, are usually specified by using the interrogative adjective with other generic or specific nouns:
<small>one falls, people fall</small>


The impersonal form is mostly used in the singular number, but it may be found also in the plural, with a kind of collective meaning.
* '''ṫjejmewa weʡewa''': in which place (<small>static location</small>)
* '''ṫjejmeʈu weʡeʈu''': in which place (<small>motion toward</small>)

Interrogative pronouns

Basic interrogative pronouns display two different roots:

  • quality: ṫjejm-
  • quantity: sjowp-

ṫjejm-ṫjejm- + -e-ṫjejme

The quality root can refer freely to either animate or inanimate entities. A distinction of animacy can be inferred by the context or by choice of case forms. However, some declined forms can acquire new interrogative meanings depending on the selected case:

  • ṫjejmewa: where (static location)
  • ṫjejmeʈu: where (motion toward)
  • ṫjejmeno : why (cause)

These forms, while broadly undefined in their meaning, are usually specified by using the interrogative adjective with other generic or specific nouns:

  • ṫjejmewa weʡewa: in which place (static location)
  • ṫjejmeʈu weʡeʈu: in which place (motion toward)
