Occassionally, a thematic vowel, weak or strong, may be inserted before the t- or s-stem. This is most common in verbs with a base thematic ''-ā-'', which often functions as a part of the stem (e.g. '''''aehatz''''' → '''''aehātus''''' ("that loved") '''''aehārit''''' ("they want to love me") vs. '''''{{term|mavatz}}''''' ("I wander") → '''''mautus''''' ("that wandered") '''''maurit''''' ("I want to wander)). This may occur with other theme classes, although it should be noted that ''-ē-'' is never used, and is always replaced with ''-ī-''. | Occassionally, a thematic vowel, weak or strong, may be inserted before the t- or s-stem.

Aeranir verbs have two basic [[w:Grammatical aspect|aspects]], which express how the verb extends over time. Aspect differs from [[w:Grammatical tense|tense]] in that it deals with the completion or continuity of an action or state, rather than the absolute timeframe inwhich it took place. Each aspect may be in any [[w:Grammatical voice|voice]] and/or [[w:Grammatical mood|mood]]. Aspect is expressed primarily through endings, and secondarily through the suffix, as discussed above. | Aeranir verbs have two basic [[w:Grammatical aspect|aspects]], which express how the verb extends over time.
