===Verbs===
====Principal parts====
For the majority of verbs, the full conjugation can be determined from four principal parts: the infinitive, 1S present, 1S past, and past participle.
These forms are given in dictionaries. Otherwise, the infinitive is used as the citation form.
====Verb classes====
Verbs may be regular or irregular.
In regular verbs, the present stem, past stem, and past participle are derived regularly from the infinitive.
There are 3 classes of regular verbs.
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
|+ Weak verbs
! Class !! Infinitive ending !! 1S present ending !! 1S past ending !! Past participle
|-
! 1
| -aar || - || -aai || -aat
|-
! 2a (infix)
| -ijr || -is || -ij || -ijt
|-
! 2b (no infix)
| -ijr || - || -ij || -ijt
|-
! 3
| -er || - || -ui || -(e)t
|-
|}
*The schwa in ''-(e)t'' is inserted after ''-t-'', ''-d-'', ''-tj-'', and ''-dj-'' and dropped otherwise.
Irregular verbs form one or more of the stems irregularly.
*'''Present stem:''' When this is irregular, it is most often due to suppletion.
*'''Past stem:''' This is the most common irregular form, and most often is preserved from Latin. Generally, irregular past forms take the same endings as class 3 regular verbs, but with a modified stem.
*'''Past participle:''' This is most often preserved from Latin. Verbs with irregular past stems often use the same stem in the past participle (with the standard ''-t'' ending) but this is not always the case, and some verbs with regular past stems may have irregular past participles. In such cases, regular and irregular past participle forms often coexist.
====Personal endings====
Personal endings are added to the present and past stems. These stems are obtained from the 1S forms by removing the final ''-i'' if present. Note that if the 1S form does not end in ''-i'', the corresponding stem is identical to the 1S form.
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
|+ Personal endings
! Person/number !! Ending
|-
! 1S
| -(i)
|-
! 2S
| -(e)s
|-
! 3S
| -(e)t
|-
! 1P
| -(e)ns
|-
! 2P
| -(e)ts
|-
! 3P
| -(e)n
|-
|}
'''Note:'''
¹ Schwa ''-(e)-'' may be inserted before personal endings in the present tense depending on phonetics but never after vowels.
*In ''-(e)s'': Schwa is kept after ''-s-'', ''-z-'', ''-sj-'', ''-zj-'', ''-tj-'', and ''-dj-'' and dropped otherwise.
*In ''-(e)t'': Schwa is kept after ''-t-'', ''-d-'', ''-tj-'', and ''-dj-'' and dropped otherwise.
*In ''-(e)n'', ''-(e)ns'', and ''-(e)ts'': Schwa is dropped after vowels and kept otherwise.
<!--It does not appear in the past tense since the past stem always ends in a vowel. -->Conversely, ''-i'' in the first person only appears after vowels<!-- (and therefore always appears in the past tense)-->.
