Morphology

Most morphology in Séiseal/Music is derivational, as in Proto-Tie (and in most Mon-Khmer languages). However, some of the derivational morphology has grammaticalized further into inflectional morphology.

Verbs

Verbs inflect only for two tenses (present and non-present). The present tense is marked with an infix ⟨en⟩ - tvjàay 'to go', tenvjàay 'goes'.
