| * An infinitive verb will always end with vowel followed by a voiceless velar stop (k).
| |

| |
| * The future tense is shown by a suffixation of -lèsh, meaning "up (and out)" since the concept of time is an movement upwards.
| |
| * The imperfective and perfective use an auxiliary which became suffixed and altered. They use the verbs ''sájak' '', "to go" and ''sálik' '', "to complete" respectively.
