The citation form of a verb is the 1st person jussive. The three major conjugations are correlated with the semantics of the verb:


*1st conjugation ''-ī́'' < ''*-īn=ʔ'': primary verbs.
*1st conjugation ''-ī́n'' < ''*-īn=ʔ'': primary verbs.
**The above contains ''-iī́'' verbs (''*j''-stems, realized as pseudo-thematic vowel ''i'').
**The above contains ''-iī́n'' verbs (''*j''-stems, realized as pseudo-thematic vowel ''i'').
*2nd conjugation ''-ái'' < ''*-a-īn=ʔ'': typically denominative, factitive or transitive verbs.
*2nd conjugation ''-áin'' < ''*-a-īn=ʔ'': typically denominative, factitive or transitive verbs.
*3rd conjugation ''-éi'' < ''*-e-īn=ʔ'': typically dynamic or reflexive verbs.
*3rd conjugation ''-éin'' < ''*-e-īn=ʔ'': typically dynamic or reflexive verbs.


The zero theme vowel conjugation often contains irregularities from interactions between the final consonant and the ending (in fact some alteration occurs for all consonants except ''m'', ''r'' and ''ch'', unless the stem-terminating consonant is part of a cluster) and hence includes [[Themsarian/Verbal subparadigms|many subconjugations]].
