Second-conjugation strong verbs are much less common than first-conjugation. They are derived from [[wikt:Appendix:Proto-Germanic verbs#j-presents|Proto-Germanic j-present strong verbs]], and were already scarce. | Second-conjugation strong verbs are much less common than first-conjugation.

In the perfect tenses, '''duere''' uses {{angbr|v}} instead of the expected {{angbr|u}}: '''eo davi''', not ''*eo daui'', '''tu davis''', not ''*tu dauis'', etc.; '''eo davise''', '''tu davises''', etc. | In the perfect tenses, '''duere''' uses {{angbr|v}} instead of the expected {{angbr|u}}: '''eo davi''', not ''*eo daui'', '''tu davis''', not ''*tu dauis'', etc.; '''eo davise''', '''tu davises''', etc. | ||

====Periphrastic forms==== | |||
The future and conditional forms shown in all tables above are more common in formal settings. Usually, in everyday Avendonian, constructions with the verb '''{{term|verdare}}''' (“to become”) and an infinitive following it are used instead. If '''verdare''' is inflected as present, the periphrasis conveys a future meaning. If the verb is in the perfect tense, it functions as a conditional. Compare: | |||
: '''Eo si duerabo morgano.''' | |||
: '''Eo verdo duere-si morgano.''' ''I will do it tomorrow.'' | |||
: '''Vi Si geldarabamos sed ne abemos nilo.''' | |||
: '''Vi vardamos geldare-te sed ne abemos nilo.''' ''We would pay you but we have nothing.'' | |||
Note that '''verdare''' is a [[Avendonian#Strong verbs|strong verb]], so it undergoes ablaut in the past as usual. | |||
