===Morphophonology=== | ===Morphophonology=== | ||
An epenthetic /i/ (between consonants) or an epenthetic /n/ (between vowels) can be insterted between the radical of a verb and its conjugation ending, if the pronunciation is otherwise deemed difficult. | |||

===Verbs=== | |||
There are three verb groups, marked with different infinitive endings : the first group, ending in -ü ; the second group, ending in -ar ; and the third, ending in -ôr. Verbs are conjugated for tense, mood, and person. There are seven persons : 1SG, 2SG, 3SG, 1PL, 2PL, 3PL, and a 2POLITE person of politeness (used in both the singular and the plural). Verbs are conjugated by replacing the infinitive ending with a conjugated ending. | |||
There are five moods : indicative, absolute, imperative, conditional and subjunctive. Overall, the verbal system is similar to that of French, with some extra moods and tenses. | |||
