| ====Non-finite forms====
| |
| The non-finite verbal forms are:
| |
| | |
| =====Infinitive=====
| |
| The '''infinitive''' is regarded as the citation form of the verb, and it is not conjugated in person or number. It is marked by the ending -re.
| |
| | |
| It displays three tenses, ''present'', ''past'', and ''perfect'', formed through the thematic vowels. Each form has a dependent counterpart, formed through the dependent suffix -æv-:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="width: 70px;"| || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''present''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''past''</small></center> || style="width: 150px;"| <center><small>''perfect''</small></center>
| |
| |- | |
| | ''<small>indicative</small>'' || <center>mārore</center> || <center>mārure</center> || <center>mārare</center> | |
| |-
| |
| | ''<small>dependent</small>'' || <center>mārævore</center> || <center>mārævure</center> || <center>mārævare</center>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| The infinitive is a nominal form of a verb. It is used as a verbal noun in sentences, and it can be declined. It is regarded as a class II noun, whose nominative form is identical to the accusative.
| |
| | |
| =====Active participle=====
| |
| The '''active participle''' displays three tenses: ''present'', ''past'', and ''perfect''. They are formed through the thematic vowels and the participial suffix -θī. Each form has a dependent counterpart, formed through the dependent suffix -æv-:
| |
