 ===Verbs===
-Dundulanyä has generally a [[w:Active-stative alignment|split-S]] morphosyntactic alignment, however allowing fluid-S marking for multiple verbs. There are two different sets of verbal terminations, one for patient agreement and another for agent agreement.
+Dundulanyä verbs are quite complex and generally formed in an agglutinative manner - even if there are fusional elements for what concerns tense, aspect, and subject agreement. The language has an [[w:Symmetrical voice|Austronesian-type]] morphosyntactic alignment, and the argument the verb agrees with is controlled by a particular morpheme inside the verb complex.
+The morpheme order of Dundulanyä verbs is the following; elements in '''bold''' are required, even if some of them may be zero morphemes:
+''(still unfinished)''

+|+ Dundulanyä verb structure
+|-
+| Prefix || '''Stem''' || '''Trigger/voice''' || '''Evidential marker''' || '''Personal agreement''' || Dative agreement
+|}
+Verbs have four stems: present, past, perfect and frequentative; the latter two are always distinct, while non-ablauting roots have the same stems for the present and the past. These stems are used with different sets of personal agreement endings; different combinations of stems and endings are used to form a variety of tense-aspect combinations.<br/>A few irregular verbs have suppletive stems, and a smaller number of verbs is defective, lacking one or more stems.
