Verbs are most often derived by pairing a light verb with either a following adjective or a preceding absolutive noun. When an absolutive noun is part of a complex verb, the clause's patient is instead marked as dative. | Verbs are most often derived by pairing a light verb with either a following adjective or a preceding absolutive noun.

====Other verb markers==== | |||
=====Tense, aspect, and mood===== | |||
A number of tense-aspect combinations are formed by compounding verbs. | |||

|} | |||
Four mood suffixes can be applied to indicative verbs: subjunctive ''-кьи'', conditional ''-ссә'', counterfactual ''-(й)ә̄й'', and abilitative ''-ыъ''. | |||
=====Converbs===== | |||
There are two converbs: relative/attributive ''-ды'' which puts no restriction on its verb's inflection, and simultaneous ''-цы'' which can only be applied to imperfective verbs. | |||
=====Valency modifiers===== | |||
Verb valency can be increased and decreased with suffixes ''-гьэ'' and ''-ухъ'' respectively. These suffixes are also mostly used to derive new verbs, for example ''диркӏ, диркӏгьэ'' "to see, to look" and ''вӣд, вӣдухъ'' "to know, to think." | |||
=====Causatives===== | |||
Causative verbs are marked with particles preceding the causee. These particles agree with the causer's gender: masculine ''вит'', feminine ''вәт'', neuter ''уът''. | |||
If present in the clause, the causer is marked as the agent of the verb, and the causee is put in the absolutive. | |||
=====Reflexives and reciprocals===== | |||
For reflexives see [[Guimin#Demonstratives and pronouns|Demonstratives and pronouns]]. Reciprocals are marked with a verb suffix ''-зәм''. | |||
=====Questions===== | |||
Questions are marked either with interrogative proforms or an interrogative verb suffix: ''-ма'' for polar questions, and ''-май'' for mediative questions. | |||
====Verb affix order==== | |||

The absolutive singular prefixes ''тӏ(ә)-, ццӏ(а)-, с(ә)-'' are optional and most often used for disambiguation. | |||
Comparative and superlative adjectives are preceded by particles ''е'' and ''бәч'' respectively, and compared nouns use the equative case. | |||
===Evidentiality=== | |||
Witness and nonwitness evidence are marked with clause-initial particles ''ыг'' and ''гӯ'' respectively. Gnomic clauses use neither particle. | |||
Reportative clauses use a separate particle that agrees in gender with the reportee: masculine ''кӏу'', feminine ''кӏо'', neuter ''ккӏа''. If the reportee is included in or near the clause the reportative particle follows the reportee, otherwise it is clause-initial. | |||
===Negation and prohibitives=== | |||
Clauses are negated with a verb clitic ''ни-'', or an emphatic equivalent ''вэ̄-''. These clitics can also function as preceding particles to negate individual words, and as negative interjections. | |||
Prohibitive verbs are marked with a preceding particle ''мӣ'' plus imperative inflection. | |||
