3^rd sing.	moro
1^st plur.	moroxi
2^nd plur.	morodi
3^rd plur.	moroβi

Some verbs display an alteration of the unstressed vowel in the verbal root, usually changing an [o] into an [a]. As an example, the conjugation of the present tense of the verb soβɔr, to know, is shown.

	soβɔr
1^st sing.	saβõ

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.

	present	past	perfect
indicative	māroθīx	māruθīx	māraθīx
dependent	mārævoθīx	mārævuθīx	mārævaθīx

The agentive participle is an adjectival form of a verb. It is linked to nouns which actively perform an action.

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.

This participle cannot play the role of a verbal passive form. It can only be used as an adjective and it can be used to build relative clauses.

the woman seen by the man

As an adjectival form, it displays a complete declension, to agree with the class of the referred noun.
