Luthic verbs have a high degree of [[w:Inflection|inflection]], the majority of which follows one of three common patterns of [[w:Grammatical conjugation|conjugation]]. Luthic conjugation is affected by [[w:Voice (grammar)|voice]], [[w:Grammatical mood|mood]], [[w:Grammatical person|person]], [[w:Grammatical tense|tense]], [[w: Grammatical number|number]], [[w:Grammatical aspect|aspect]] and occasionally [[w:Grammatical gender|gender]]. | |||
The four classes of verbs (conjugation’s patterns) are distinguished by the infinitive’s endings form of the verb: | |||
* <span style="color:green">'''1st conjugation</span>:''' '''-are''' (þagc'''are''' “to think”); | |||
* <span style="color:darkorange">'''2nd conjugation</span>:''' '''-ere''' (cred'''ere''' “to believe”); | |||
* <span style="color:red">'''3rd conjugation</span>:''' '''-ore''' (hol'''ore''' “to accuse”); | |||
* <span style="color:purple">'''4th conjugation</span>:''' '''-ire''' (dorm'''ire''' “to sleep”). | |||
Additionally, Luthic has a number of verbs that do not follow predictable patterns in all conjugation classes, most markedly the present and the past. Often classified together as irregular verbs, their irregularities occur to different degrees, with forms of ''vessare'' “to be”, and somewhat less extremely, ''havere'' “to have”, the least predictable. Others, such as ''ganare'' “to go”, ''stare'' “to stay, to stand”, ''taugiare'' “to do, to make”, and numerous others, follow various degrees of regularity within paradigms, largely due to suppletion, historical sound change or analogical developments. | |||
