<div style="font-family:'Merriweather'; font-size:16px;"> Skylandic verbs hcan be classified into four major types — ''strong, weak, special'' and ''irregular''. '''Strong verbs''' change their stem vowel when conjugated. But unlike most Germanic languages, Skylandic strong verbs rely on modern spelling rather than its etymological spelling. Some verbs that used to be strong in PGmc might not end up being one in Skylandic. '''Weak verbs''' are your good old regular verbs. Both strong and weak verbs end in « -en ». '''Special verbs''' are those that have a different yet regular conjugation scheme as compared to the first two types. '''Irregular verbs''' are those that have different spellings for conjugations or supply stem from other verb roots.</div> | <div style="font-family:'Merriweather'; font-size:16px;"> Skylandic verbs hcan be classified into four major types — ''strong, weak, special'' and ''irregular''.

'''Strong verbs''' are verbs that conjugate by changing their stem vowel alongside annexing a conjugation suffix. This kind of vowel change is usually called '''''ablaut''''' and in this case it's a PIE or '''Proto-Indo-European ablaut'''. But unlike its IRL relatives, Skylandic doesn't classify strong verbs based on its etymological root's spelling, but on the verbs' current spelling themselves. Also, instead of having all seven classes, Skylandic now only has five (5) strong verb classes.<br><br> | '''Strong verbs''' are verbs that conjugate by changing their stem vowel alongside annexing a conjugation suffix.
