Verbs
Principal parts
For the majority of verbs, the full conjugation can be determined from two principal parts: the (non-third person singular) simple present and the 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 past stem is derived regularly from the infinitive stem with the suffix -et (-t after final -e).
Irregular verbs form their past stem irregularly.
A few verbs have a past participle distinct from the past stem. For those verbs, the past tense is included as a citation form between the present and the past participle.
Personal endings
The following personal endings are used in the present tense:
- -(e)s in the third person singular (archaic: -(e)th)
- -(e)st in the archaic second person singular
Besides the above endings, only the highly irregular verb at est "to be" has differing personal forms. .
Tenses
As in English, continuous tenses are formed with the verb at est
Non-finite forms
Infinitive: at + present stem
Present participle: present stem + -(e)nd
Past participle: past stem
