 ===Verbs===
+====Principal parts====
+For the majority of verbs, the full conjugation can be determined from four principal parts: the infinitive, 1S present, 1S past, and past participle.
+These forms are given in dictionaries. Otherwise, the infinitive is used as the citation form.
+====Verb classes====
+Verbs may be regular or irregular.
+In regular verbs, the present stem, past stem, and past participle are derived regularly from the infinitive.
+There are 3 classes of regular verbs.
+{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
+|+ Weak verbs
+! Class !! Infinitive ending !! 1S present ending !! 1S past ending !! Past participle
+|-
+! 1
+| -aar || - || -aai || -aat

+! 2a (infix)
+| -ijr || -is || -ij || -ijt

+! 2b (no infix)
+| -ijr || - || -ij || -ijt
+|-
+! 3
+| -er || - || -ui || -t

+|}
+Irregular verbs form one or more of the stems irregularly.
+*'''Present stem:''' When this is irregular, it is most often due to suppletion.
+*'''Past stem:''' This is the most common irregular form, and most often is preserved from Latin. Generally, irregular past forms take the same endings as class 3 regular verbs, but with a modified stem.
+*'''Past participle:''' This is most often preserved from Latin. Verbs with irregular past stems often use the same stem in the past participle (with the standard ''-t'' ending) but this is not always the case, and some verbs with regular past stems may have irregular past participles. In such cases, regular and irregular past participle forms often coexist.
