The defective auxiliary ''vė'' (inf. and w-form ''vė'', past and imperative ''vu'', passive participle ''vuj''; from the conflation of two roots, one a cognate of Hebrew בא 'to come' and the other a cognate of Hebrew אבה 'to be willing')  is used to form dynamic passives (with the passive participle) and the future (with the infinitive), like the German verb ''werden''.

===Gzarot===
|-
:''Main article: [[Togarmite/Gzarot]]''
! past; conditional
In Semitic languages, ''gzarot'' (Hebrew גְּזָרוֹת‎, sg. ''gizra'' גִּזְרָה 'figure, form, pattern') are variations of an inflectional (especially verbal) paradigm that are determined by the choice of consonants in the consonantal root. Thus, a paradigm has not only a regular gizra but various irregular ones, which occur most commonly when
| ''nėk sør''
* the consonantal root contains a "guttural" (''ʔ ȝ h'') or a semivowel (''j w'');
| ''at sør''
* the consonantal root contains a ''n'', since ''nC'' tends to assimilate into ''CC''
| ''hu sør''
* the consonantal root has 2 letters.
| ''nan sru''
 
| ''atøm sru''
Because Togarmite only uses the prefix conjugation, modern Togarmite gzarot are in some ways less bad than Hebrew gzarot; most of the irregularities occur in binyan ''fȝøl''. However, there are often so many irregularities even within each gizra, and cases of analogy between verbs of different gzarot, that the concept of gzarot in Modern Togarmite has been questioned: in Togarmite, a "gizra" just describes general tendencies of verbs with a certain root consonant.

Plural numerals usually take plural nouns. They used to take singular nouns, however this is considered archaic.
===Gzarot===
:''Main article: [[Togarmite/Gzarot]]''
In Semitic languages, ''gzarot'' (Hebrew גְּזָרוֹת‎, sg. ''gizra'' גִּזְרָה 'figure, form, pattern') are variations of an inflectional (especially verbal) paradigm that are determined by the choice of consonants in the consonantal root. Thus, a paradigm has not only a regular gizra but various irregular ones, which occur most commonly when
* the consonantal root contains a "guttural" (''ʔ ȝ h'') or a semivowel (''j w'');
* the consonantal root contains a ''n'', since ''nC'' tends to assimilate into ''CC''
* the consonantal root has 2 letters.


Numbers ending in digits "3" through "9" (thus ending in ''šlėš'' through ''tesȝy''), or "10" (thus ending in ''ȝašry''), have two forms depending on the animacy of the noun: ''hymes myrtemi'' 'five abacuses', but ''hymest ahwėt'' 'five sisters'. The animate forms come from the masculine forms (reverse polarity) marked with ''*-t'' in Proto-Semitic.
Because Togarmite only uses the prefix conjugation, modern Togarmite gzarot are in some ways less bad than Hebrew gzarot; most of the irregularities occur in binyan ''fȝøl''. However, there are often so many irregularities even within each gizra, and cases of analogy between verbs of different gzarot, that the concept of gzarot in Modern Togarmite has been questioned: in Togarmite, a "gizra" just describes general tendencies of verbs with a certain root consonant.


===Ordinal===
==Prepositions==
Ordinals are formed using the pattern CCuC; as in English, "1st" and "2nd" are irregular, from elatives ''*ʔaʕlay-'' 'topmost' and ''*ʔaʕqab-'' 'the immediately following' respectively. In compound numerals, the last number word is inflected to the ordinal form.
Some prepositions:
 
*''in'' 'in' [from PSem *ina], ''in yn'' > ''nyn''
*1st = olė
** ini, inak, inek, inau, ina, inė, inkøm, inaum
*2nd = ogav
*''ly'' (''l' '' before V) 'of (possessive)'
*3rd = šluš
*''vy'' (''v' '' before V) 'by, at, with (instrumental), in (language)'
*4th = rvuȝ
** vi, vak, vek, vau, va, vanė, vakøm, vaum
*5th = mus
*''šyðe'' 'out of' (from *śadiy-ah 'to the field')
*6th = stuš
*''me'' (''men'' before V) 'from'
*7th = svuȝ
** ''meni, menak, menek, menau, mena, menė, mekøm, menaum''
*8th = smun
*''ȝem'' 'with (comitative)'
*9th = tsuȝ
** ''3emi, 3emak, 3emek, 3emau, 3ema, 3emnė, 3emkøm, 3emaum''
*10th = ȝšur
*''ȝal'' 'on'; with definite article ''ȝlėn/ȝlėm''
*11th = ȝašry w-olė
** ''3lei, 3lėk, 3lėk, 3lėju, 3lėja, 3lėnė, 3lėkøm, 3lėjøm''
*12th = ȝašry w-ogav
*''lið'' 'to' (from ''*la-yad'' 'to the hand of')
*13th = ȝašry šluš
*''løv'' 'into, in' (from ''*la-libb'')
etc.
**''Nėk wamen løv žinė'' - I believe in this
**''Hu tyhev løva'' - He fell in love with her
*''ȝvar'' 'over'
*''tat'' 'under'
*''aržo'' 'down' (from *ʔarč̣-ah "earthward")
*''ðarkyn'' 'along'

===Syntax of prepositions===


===Fractional===
==Numerals==
Fractional numerals are formed with the segolate pattern CøCCy (pl. CøCaCi). Compound numerals can be inflected as well, like in the case of ordinal numerals. The analogized form ''øhðy'' is used for numerals ending in "1".
===Cardinal===
*half = γøv (from *gunb- 'side')
<poem>
*3rd = šølšy

*4th = røvȝy
1: hað
*11th = ȝašry w-øhðy
2: šnein / attributive šnė
 
3: šlėš (animate šlėšt)

5: mes (animate mest)
==Syntax==
6: setš (animate setšt)
===Faulty accusative marker===
7: savȝy (animate savȝyt)
The faulty accusative marker ''it'' is used. It behaves like the MSA accusative case and the Welsh soft mutation for direct objects: when there is a constituent separating the verb or predicate from a second constituent, ''it'' comes between the two constituents regardless of whether the second constituent is actually a direct object. Example:
8: šmėni (animate šmėnt)
 
9: tesȝy (animate tesȝyt)
*''Halek wyfė li '''it''' šlėšt klavi, wy ȝeto lėš li '''it''' nuk.'' = I used to have three dogs, and now I don't have any.
10: ȝašry (animate ȝašryt)
*''Yn ðėrest li ryšė li '''it''' ȝyšėt rab tamuni veit.'' = My teacher wants me to do a lot of homework.
11: ȝašry wy hað

What-questions have a syntax similar to English.
Plural numerals usually take plural nouns. They used to take singular nouns, however this is considered archaic.
===Existentials===
The word ''iš'' is used to indicate existence. It is also used with the preposition ''ly'' 'to' or the possessive pronouns to indicate possession. The negative of ''iš'' is ''lėš''.
*''Lėš mygėm ėn kølšar nyȝum.'' = There is no place where everyone is happy.
*''Ha iš lek ša3t?'' = Do you (f. sg.) have time?


=== Clauses ===
Numbers ending in digits "3" through "9" (thus ending in ''šlėš'' through ''tesȝy''), or "10" (thus ending in ''ȝašry''), have two forms depending on the animacy of the noun: ''hymes myrtemi'' 'five abacuses', but ''hymest ahwėt'' 'five sisters'. The animate forms come from the masculine forms (reverse polarity) marked with ''*-t'' in Proto-Semitic.
*"if" = ''em''
*"then" = ''šøm''
*"though" = ''ak'', ''kenak''


===Relative clauses===
===Ordinal===
The relative pronoun ''žė'' is used for both relative and complement clauses. It may takes prepositional cases, just like English relative pronouns. The word ''žė'' is from PSem *ðā, the accusative singular form of the demonstrative *ðū; cf. Biblical Hebrew זו ''zu'', Aramaic די ''dī''.
Ordinals are formed using the pattern CCuC; as in English, "1st" and "2nd" are irregular, from elatives ''*ʔaʕlay-'' 'topmost' and ''*ʔaʕqab-'' 'the immediately following' respectively. In compound numerals, the last number word is inflected to the ordinal form.


For relative clauses whose heads are prepositional objects in the relative clause, there are three strategies:
*1st = olė
*2nd = ogav
*3rd = šluš
*4th = rvuȝ
*5th = mus
*6th = stuš
*7th = svuȝ
*8th = smun
*9th = tsuȝ
*10th = ȝšur
*11th = ȝašry w-olė
*12th = ȝašry w-ogav
*13th = ȝašry šluš
etc.


*the relativizer is treated as a resumptive pronoun which takes the preposition, like English ''which'': ''yn γavry lið žė nėk ohav ym mauhav'', lit. 'the man to which I gave the gift'. This syntax arose from the influence of surrounding languages like English.
===Fractional===
*the preposition goes to the end of the clause: ''yn γavry žė nėk ohav ym mauhav lið'' lit. 'the man which I gave the gift to'. This syntax arose from the native Semitic construction which used a resumptive pronoun on the preposition: after the resumptive pronoun lost the stress, the preposition lost its pronominal suffix and moved to the end of the clause.
Fractional numerals are formed with the segolate pattern CøCCy (pl. CøCaCi). Compound numerals can be inflected as well, like in the case of ordinal numerals. The analogized form ''øhðy'' is used for numerals ending in "1".
*A combination of both strategies can be used: ''yn γavry lið žė nėk ohav ym mauhav lið'', lit. 'The man to which I gave the gift to'. This is the most common strategy with the other two considered archaic.
*half = γøv (from *gunb- 'side')
*3rd = šølšy
*4th = røvȝy
*11th = ȝašry w-øhðy

We measure the nucleating eukaryotic folding of the TSP3 gene in ''Bruchorium sponercii''. TSP3 encodes a protezine-binding receptor kinase located at the cytotubular microsporellata of the quanticular ribosome, and malfunction of TSP3 is commonly believed to be the source of cybothrotic cancer. In this paper we prove using a Rɪᴇᴛᴢᴇʀ-Yᴀʟɪɴꜱᴋʏ double-blind test that TSP3 binding to the phyllochrypsinase inhibitor occurs (p = 0.04) in the hypotrellome of a healthy ''Bruchorium'' cell when adenotoxin concentrations are low.

Shattered into tiny fragments!

All of us are judged according to our actions;
Let us give to the needy, and do charity towards one another.
