===Verbs===

Almost all verbs use only one form, the infinitive (usually etymologically the infinitive construct, which may sometimes be conflated with the etymological imperative). The infinitive form may or may not have a prefixed ''l-'', depending on the verb; however, even verbs without l- display a voicing mutation (e.g. ''žbuð'' 'to be idle, to lie fallow'). Some verbs instead are derived from other nouns derived from the relevant triconsonantal root rather than the infinitive of a particular verb (e.g. ''benin'' 'to build', cognate to the Hebrew noun ''binyan''; from the root b-n-y)

The infinitive is also used as an imperative: ''ðett l'oj!'' = 'Give it to her!' Imperatives are negated by placing ''al'' before the verb.
