The passive participle is an adjectival form of a verb. It is linked to nouns which undergo an action, or inactively are in a certain state. Despite the lack of a verbal passive form, this participle is the closest form to such role. It can, however, be used only as an adjective and it is often used to build relative clauses. | The passive participle is an adjectival form of a verb.

Conjugation of a regular verb
Example: gɛgugiwgɛ, to bring
Indicative mood
Four tenses are simple:
| 1st sing. | ||||
| 2nd sing. | ||||
| 3rd sing. | ||||
| 1st dual | ||||
| 2nd dual | ||||
| 3rd dual | ||||
| 1st plur. | ||||
| 2nd plur. | ||||
| 3rd plur. | ||||
- 1 this form tends to display irregularities in several verbs:
cɛgiliwgɛ → cɛgiʎɛc to say → he/she/it says
lilušiwgɛ → lilušɛc to see → he/she/it sees
- 2 this form tends to display irregularities in several verbs:
čiwguliwgɛ → čiwgū to come → he/she/it comes
There are, moreover, three compound tenses. They are formed:
- Imperfective future: forms of the indicative present of the auxiliary verb çɛňiwgɛ, to be, with the imperfective present infinitive of the conjugated verb.
- Resultative present: forms of the indicative present of the auxiliary verb çɛňiwgɛ, to be, with the perfective present infinitive of the conjugated verb.
- Resultative past: forms of the indicative past of the auxiliary verb çɛňiwgɛ, to be, with the perfective present infinitive of the conjugated verb.
| 1st sing. | |||
| 2nd sing. | |||
| 3rd sing. | |||
| 1st dual | |||
| 2nd dual | |||
| 3rd dual | |||
| 1st plur. | |||

| 3rd plur. | |||

- Resultative present: forms of the subjunctive present of the auxiliary verb çɛňiwgɛ, to be, with the perfective present infinitive of the conjugated verb.

Optative mood
The optative widely features the infix -uš-, which is placed between the roots and the personal endings.
Four tenses are simple:

Forms of the simple tenses in the optative mood usually do not display other irregularities.
There are, moreover, three compound tenses. They are formed:
- Imperfective future: forms of the optative present of the auxiliary verb çɛňiwgɛ, to be, with the imperfective present infinitive of the conjugated verb.
- Resultative present: forms of the optative present of the auxiliary verb çɛňiwgɛ, to be, with the perfective present infinitive of the conjugated verb.
- Resultative past: forms of the optative past of the auxiliary verb çɛňiwgɛ, to be, with the perfective present infinitive of the conjugated verb.

Potential mood
The potential widely features the infix -jɛʈ- (or its palatalizing version, -ɛʈ-), which is placed between the roots and the personal endings.
Four tenses are simple:
| 1st sing. | ||||
| 2nd sing. | ||||
| 3rd sing. | ||||
| 1st dual | ||||
| 2nd dual | ||||
| 3rd dual | ||||

Forms of the simple tenses in the potential mood usually do not display other irregularities.
There are, moreover, three compound tenses. They are formed:
- Imperfective future: forms of the potential present of the auxiliary verb çɛňiwgɛ, to be, with the imperfective present infinitive of the conjugated verb.
- Resultative present: forms of the potential present of the auxiliary verb çɛňiwgɛ, to be, with the perfective present infinitive of the conjugated verb.
- Resultative past: forms of the potential past of the auxiliary verb çɛňiwgɛ, to be, with the perfective present infinitive of the conjugated verb.

| 2nd dual | |||
| 3rd dual | |||
| 1st plur. | |||
| 2nd plur. | |||
| 3rd plur. | |||
The potential infix displays two possible forms, -jɛʈ or -jɛʈ. The latter form is used after some consonants, palatalizing them, or is used after already palatalized consonants, without any further effect. It merges with the 3rd singular person ending, palatalizing -ʈ into -c.
Non-finite forms
The non-finite verbal forms are:
Infinitive
| imp. pres. | ||||
| imp. past | ||||
| imp. pres. | ||||
| imp. past |
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.
In its verbal function is usually used as object or subject of other verbs. It is the only non-finite form which has modal forms.
Direct objects of the infinitival forms are declined in the ablative case.
Participle
There are two participial forms, the agentive participle and the passive participle. Both infinitives have an imperfective and a perfective form, respectively built on the imperfective root and on the perfective root, and they have a present and a past form, this last formed through the augment.
The agentive participle is formed through the ending -īdu, while the passive participle through the ending -jugiw / -ugiw.
| agentive | ||||
| passive | ||||
The active participle is an adjectival form of a verb. It is linked to nouns which actively perform an action. It is often used to build relative clauses. As an adjectival form it thus displays a complete declension set, not belonging inherently to one of the two classes, but agreeing with its adjoining noun.
The passive participle is an adjectival form of a verb. It is linked to nouns which undergo an action, or inactively are in a certain state. Despite the lack of a verbal passive form, this participle is the closest form to such role. It can, however, be used only as an adjective and it is often used to build relative clauses.
The passive participle suffix displays two possible forms, -jugiw or -jugiw. The latter form is used after some consonants, palatalizing them, or is used after already palatalized consonants, without any further effect.
cɛgiliwgɛ → cɛgiʎugiw to say → said
lilušiwgɛ → lilušugiw to see → seen
