====Unipersonal conjugation====
====Unipersonal affixes====
The suffix conjugation is used for inherently intransitive (unaccusative) or reflexive verbs, and imperatives. Unipersonal verbs are negated in the optative/imperative by ''núr<sup>N</sup>''.

====Bipersonal affixes====

|-
||'''Stem'''/Voice/Aspect||Personal suffix||Imperative or Polarity/Focus
|}
 
In the indicative the personal suffixes represent the subject; in the imperative they indicate the object.

The 0th, 1st and 2nd person forms are penultimately stressed; the 3rd person forms are ultimately stressed.

====Bipersonal conjugation====
The prefix conjugation is used for non-imperative transitive verbs (verbs that can take an agent and a patient).

|-

|-
| ''fa''<sup>D</sup>- || Inverse ({{sc|inv}})
|}
 
The inverse prefix is called ''fó mágham'' ('flipping/inverting ''fó''') in Netagin. Note that the inverse prefix geminates/de-lenites the personal prefix consonant.

All of the above suffixes are stressed. The focused suffixes emphasize the truth value and are therefore used to answer yes/no questions.

The pluractionality suffix never affects the thematic vowel in irregular verbs, unlike other suffixes beginning with a consonant.
