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, a present and a past form, respectively built on the present root and on the past root. It is marked by the ending -ühä.

class I
class II
class IIg
present
moɕädühä
xixehühä
pürücühä
past
mäɕodühä
xexihühä
pürücigühä

The infinitive is a nominal form of a verb and it can be declined also in the plural number in this function. In this function it is also usually adjoined by the articles.

äs xemunühä
the food
Participle

There are two participial forms, the active participle and the passive participle. Both infinitives have a present and a past form, respectively built on the present root and on the preterite root. As they are adjectival forms, they are both declined as such.

The active participle is formed through the ending -īdə, added to both roots.

class I
class II
class IIg
present
moɕädīdə
xixehīdə
pürücīdə
past
mäɕodīdə
xexihīdə
pürücigīdə

The passive participle is formed through the ending -́uhi, added to both roots.

class I
class II
class IIg
present
moɕäd́uhi
xixeh́uhi
pürüćuhi
past
mäɕod́uhi
xexih́uhi
pürüciǵuhi

Irregularities tend to occur often in the forms of the passive particles, since the ending -́uhi systematically palatalizes all preceding consonants, which have a palatalized counterpart. This makes the potential one of the richest moods in irregularities.

The active participle is an adjectival form of a verb. It is linked to nouns which actively perform an action. It is sometimes used to build relative clauses. As an adjectival form it is declined in number, even in its verbal function.

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. It is widely used both in the verbal conjugation to build the passive forms and as an adjective. As an adjectival form it is declined in number, even in its verbal function.

Besides its verbal or adjectival role, in some cases the participle may be used as noun, if preceded by the article.

äs mäɕod́uhi
the harvest

Passive diathesis

The passive diathesis displays only compound forms, in every mood and tense. These forms are always built through the auxiliary verb cänühä, to be with the various forms of the passive participle.

The usage of the different moods and tenses is exactly the same as the active diathesis. However, the passive diathesis completely lacks any continuous tense. The passive particles always agree with the clause subject in number.
