Old Tíogall inherits many TAMs directly from Thensarian. In addition, Old Tíogall displays extensive verb allomorphy. Verbs can be grouped in two ways: non-prefixed and prefixed, and non-ablauting and ablauting. The verb tables below will use the following example verbs:

  • Unprefixed, non-ablauting verbs: e.g. túsaiṁ /ˈtuːsai̯mʰ/ 'he prays', ní·túsa /niːˈtuːsa/ 'he does not pray' (modern tús)
  • Unprefixed, ablauting verbs: e.g. sombaiṁ /sombai̯mʰ/ 'he leaves (transitive)', ní·somba /niːˈsomba/ 'he does not leave (transitive)' (modern sóm)
  • Prefixed, non-ablauting verbs: e.g. as·tóċa /asˈtoːkʰa/ 'he proves', ní·assaċ /niːˈasːakʰ/ 'he does not prove' (modern stóch)
  • Prefixed ablauting verbs: e.g. de·scoḃa /deˈskobʰa/ 'he tolerates', ní·tépp /niːˈteːpː/ 'he does not tolerate' (modern deascabh)
