Verb conjugation was a bit different from modern Pomorian being more archaic. More verbs belong to the fourth conjugation type. Simple present and past tenses have been reconstructed for Old Pomorian. Verb endings are in the table below.
Verb conjugation was a bit different from modern Pomorian being more archaic. More verbs belong to the fourth conjugation type. Simple present and past tenses have been reconstructed for Old Pomorian with relics of a simple (or probably continuous) future tense. Verb endings are in the table below.

# Both endings could be reconstructed for 1st person singular in present tense. The former ending is from Eastern dialects, the latter - from Western ones.
# Both endings could be reconstructed for 1st person singular in present tense. The former ending is from the Western dialects, the latter - from the Eastern ones.
# According to the modern language the ''-ais'' ending is reconstructible for 2nd person singular in past tense, but the form ''-ēi'' was attested. However it is not precisely known whether the -ēi ending was real or it could be a misspelling.
# According to the modern language the ''-ēis'' ending is reconstructible for 2nd person singular in past tense, but the form ''-ei'' was attested. However it is not precisely known whether the ''-ei(s)'' ending was real or it could be a misspelling.
# It is not know how exactly the ''en'' suffix functioned, it could indicate a process or duration of an action. It is not found anywhere except this tense.


An interesting feature Old Pomorian verbs possessed was a presence of '''objective clitics'''. These clitics were attached to the end of prefixless transitive verbs or to the beginning of transitive verbs with prefixes to show a direct object. Those clitics are seldom used in North-Western dialects of the modern language, but are considered archaic. Pronouns in accusative case are used instead nowadays.
