=== | ===Verb Conjugation=== | ||
Akhyan verb conjugation consists of two main types: Primary and Secondary. The Primary conjugation is a thematic set, meaning it uses a connecting vowel, often called a "theme vowel" between the verb stem and the personal endings. In contrast, the Secondary conjugation is athematic, meaning it lacks this theme vowel and attaches the endings directly to the stem, often resulting in more irregular or complex forms. | |||
==== Primary System ==== | |||
The Primary system is a thematic set of verb forms characterized by the use of two distinct vowels, -a- and -e-, to indicate different moods. Specifically, the vowel -a- is used for the Indicative mood, while -e- marks the Subjunctive mood. This system operates within three main tenses: '''Present''', '''Aorist''', and '''Perfect'''. It is also important to note that in the Subjunctive mood, the following are distinguished by aspect, not tense. | |||
==== Secondary System ==== | |||
The Secondary system refers to a group of verb forms that are characterized as athematic. This system do not use thematic vowels unlike the Primary System. This system appears only in the Indicative mood and includes four main tenses: the Imperfect, Pluperfect, Future, and Conditional. A distinctive feature of these tenses is the use of the augment; a prefix added to the verb stem to indicate past time, applied to all except the Future tense. | |||
