Mid	e, eː, (ẽː)¹	ə, ə̃	o, oː, (õː)¹
Open		a, aː, (ãː)¹

Notes:

¹ Long nasal vowels are an allophonic pronunciation of long vowels followed by -n- before coronal fricatives.

Any non-nasal vowel can form a falling dipthong with -i and -u (unless it results in a sequence of two identical vowels).

Morphophonology

Syllabicization

Liquids (r, l), nasals (n, m), and glides (y, w) have syllabic counterparts that replace them when required by phonotactics.

Syllabic counterparts

Consonant	Syllabic counterpart
r	ər
l	əl
n	ə̃
m	ũ
y	i
w	u

If none of these consonants are present, a schwa (-ə-) is inserted.

Alternatively, the offending consonant cluster may be simplified through phonetic changes, but this is non-productive and has been reversed in most cases.

Hiatus resolution

When hiatus would occur, it is resolved by inserting an epenthetic consonant. This consonant depends on the vowels.

Nominals

Nouns

Nouns have two stems, which may oray not be identical. The strong stem is used in the nominative, vocative, and accusative while the weak stem is used in the remaining cases. Depending on the noun, the nominative singular (and, for neuter nouns, the vocative and accusative singular) may also be irregular. Additionally, some neuter nouns have an irregular nominative/vocative/accusative plural.

O-stems and ā-stems usually have identical strong and weak stems, while other noun classes are more likely to have multiple stems.

The stems are given in the citation form: nominative singular, (nominative plural), genitive singular

• The nominative plural is used in the citation form when the nominative singular and/or nominative plural is irregular.

Notes:

¹ Some ā-stem nouns have a strong stem ending in -ī instead of -ā. Such nouns' weak stems end in -y- (which precedes the ā-stem endings). Such nouns may be referred to as "ī/yā-stem nouns".

Examples:

• écwā, -ās (f.): mare
• þōnā́, -ā́s (f.): grain
• ġnā́, -ā́s (f.): woman
• də̃źwā́, -ā́s (f.): tongue
• wəlqī́, wəlqyā́s (f.): she-wolf

Dative	-ewei			-uvos
Ablative	-eud
Genitive	-eus		-uzous	-uzōm
Locative	-ēu			-uzu

Notes:

¹ When the accusative would have ended in -Vum (where V represents a vowel), the -u- instead dropped causing the preceding vowel to be lengthened.

Examples:

• jéustus, justéus (m.): taste
• fāźús, fāźéus (m.): arm
• pérkus, pərkéus (m.): oak
• jónu, jnéus (n.): knee

Liquid/nasal-stems

These nouns have stems ending in a liquid (r or l) or a nasal (n or m).

In some cases, the stem-final consonant may vary betwen stronf and weak stems - the most common example is an alternation between r and n in neuter nouns.

The following shorthand symbols are used:

• C: represents the stem-final consonant (may be r, l, n, or m).
• S: represents the above consonant's "syllabic" counterpart.
• V: represents the vowel preceding the stem-final consonant (may be e or o).
• L: represents the above vowel's lengthened counterpart (i.e. ē or ō).

Dative	-Cei⁴			-Svos; -Cvos⁵
Ablative	-Ced⁴
Genitive	-Ces⁴		-Cous⁴	-Cōm⁴
Locative	-Ci⁴			-Szu; -Czu⁵

Notes:

¹ When V = o and C = n (i.e. expected -ōn becomes -ō).

² When C = m (i.e. expected -Vmũ becomes -Lm).

³ Depending on the noun, the neuter nominative/vocative/accusative singular may end in -S or -VC.

⁵ When a forbidden consonant would result, -ə- is inserted.

⁵ -S- becomes -C- after a vowel.

'Examples::

• patḗr, patrés (m.): father
• ŧéźōm, ŧəźmés (f.): homeland
• ənómə̃, ənémnes (n.): name
• ścũmṓ, ścũnés (m.): man
• wódər, wédōr, udnés (n.): water
• sṓwəl, saunés (n.): sun

• mḗns, mḗnzes (m.): moon

Weak stem patterns

Nouns with weak stems that differ from their strong stems tend to follow certain trends. Common ways to derive the weak stem from the strong stem include (note that multiple ways may co-occur):

• Shift of accent from the root to the ending.
• Shortening a long vowel.
• Change of -o- to -e-.
• Dropping the nucleus vowel (usually -o- or -e-).
  • If this results in a forbidden consonant cluster:
    • If one of the consonants in that cluster is a liquid (r, l), a nasal (n, m), or a glide (y, w), it is converted to its syllabic counterpart.
    • Otherwise, the cluster is broken with -ə-.

Note that even if one or more of the above changes are possible, they may not occur in a given noun. Unpredictable changes can also occur.

Adjectives

Adjectives are declined as the noun classes; however, in constrast to the masculine and neuter, the feminine almost always falls under the ā-stem class.

The formation of the feminine generally depends on the masculine and neuter class as per the table below:

Name of adjective class	Masculine and neuter class	Formation of feminine
o/ā-stem	o-stem	masc./neut. weak stem + -ā, -ās
u-stem	u-stem	masc./neut. weak stem + -ewī, -uyās
i-stem	i-stem	masc./neut. weak stem + -ī, -iyās
liquid/nasal-stem	liquid/nasal-stem	masc./neut. weak stem + -Cī, -Cyās¹
consonant-stem	consonant-stem	masc./neut. weak stem + -ī, -(y)ās¹

Notes:

¹ The feminine weak stem may end in a palatalized consonant instead of -y-. However, cases where this would occur have mostly been reversed by anology.

The citation form of adjectives is: masculine singular nominative, neuter singular nominative, (masculine/neuter singular genitive), (feminine singular nominative), (feminine singular genitive).

• The genitive(s) can be dropped when the adjective is declined regularly. This most often happens with ō/ā-stem adjectives.
• The feminine singular nominative is dropped when feminine forms are identical to the masculine. This occurs in a few adjectives (never o/ā-class), the most notable of which are the cardinal numbers 3 and 4.

Like nouns, adjectives have weak stems. These are formed similarly as those of nouns.

Verbs

Stems

Verbs have four stems:

• Present stem
• Future stem
• Perfect stem
• Neutral stem

Each of these stems may have strong and weak variants.

The first three stems are given by the principle parts. The neutral stem can be derived from the present or future stem by the following rules:

1. If one of the two stems is derived from the other by adding something (a suffix, infix, prefix, etc.), the simpler stem (i.e. the one that does not have the addition) is used.
2. If the stems are suppletive, the perfect stem is used.

Regardless of which stem is used, the neutral stem inherits both the strong and weak variants from its parent stem.

Principal parts

The principal parts are:

• The 1S present indicative
• The 1P present indicative (if the present weak stem is different than the strong stem)
• The 1S future indicative
• The 1P future indicative (if the future weak stem is different than the strong stem)
• The 1S perfect indicative
• The 1P perfect indicative (if the perfect weak stem is different than the strong stem)

For example, the citation form of the verb "to be" is ézmi, əzmés, fū́mi, fevū́ħa. Note that the 1P future and perfect forms are excluded since the weak stems are identical to the corresponding strong stems.

Tenses

The following simple tenses/moods exist:

• Based on the present stem:
  • Present indicative: Expresses an action/state that is ongoing or that is done habitually.
  • Present subjunctive: Expresses an ongoing hypothetical or counterfactual action/state. It is also used as the negative counterpart to the durative imperative.
  • Imperfect: Expresses an ongoing or habitual action/state in the past.
  • Presumptive: Expresses an action/state that is presumed to be ongoing.
  • Durative imperative: Expresses a command or request to do something continuously or to continue to do it.
• Based on the future stem:
  • Future indicative: Expresses an action/state in the future. It is also used as a present tense in narratives.
  • Future subjunctive: Expresses a hypothetical or counterfactual action/state that has not yet occurred.
  • Gnomic: Expresses general truths. It is also used as a past tense in narratives.
  • Jussive: Expresses a request or encouragement for an action to be performed (less emphatic than the imperative). It is also used as the negative counterpart of the simple imperative.
  • Simple imperative: Expresses a request or command for an action to be performed.
• Based on the perfect stem:
  • Perfect indicative: Expresses a simple action in the past.
  • Perfect subjunctive: Expresses a hypothetical action in the past.
  • Conditional: Expresses a counterfactual action/state in the past, or an action/state whose validity is dependent on such a condition.

Stem patterns

When it comes to stems, there are three patterns depending on the tense:

• Pattern 1 (mixed stem): Strong stem in the singular, secondary stem in the plural and impersonal.
  • Indicative tenses follow this pattern.
• Pattern 2 (strong stem): Strong stem throughout the tense.
  • Subjunctive tenses follow this pattern.
• Pattern 3 (weak stem): Weak stem throughout the tense.
  • Non-indicative tenses that are not subjunctive follow this pattern.

Voice

There are three voices that are indicated by conjugation:

1. Active:
   • This is the default form of a verb.
   • The verb agrees with the subject who does the action.
2. Middle:
   • It can have anticausative or autocausative meanings.
   • With intransitive verbs, it often has an autobenefactive meaning. There may be special connotations for specific verbs.
3. Passive:
   • The verb agrees with the patient on which the action is done.
   • With intransitive verbs, it often implies that an action occurred without volition/intent. There may be special connotations for specific verbs.

Stress

In verbs, stress is usually on the stem.

However, some athematic verbs take stress on the ending whenever the weak stem is used. This stress in always on the final syllable of the verb except in 3P forms ending in -enti, in which case the stress is on the penultimate syllable (i.e. -énti).

In partiples, infinitives, and other derived nouns/adjectives, such verbs take stress on the case endings except in the primary stems of active participles, which take stress on the first syllable of the derivational ending.

In all cases, the stress patterns can easily be identified from the principal parts.

Verb conjugation

Verb classes

There are two main classes of verbs.

1. Athematic verbs - These are classified into three sub-classes:
   1. Long vowel stems: Strong and weak stems are identical and end in a long vowel.
   2. Short vowel stems: The weak stem (and maybe also the strong stem) ends in a short vowel.
   3. Consonant stems: These have a stem that ends in a consonant - most perfect stems and a few other stems fall in this class.
2. Thematic verbs - The majority of verbs fall under this class (except in the perfect). There are subclasses of thematic verbs depending on the formation of the various stems.

Note that it is possible for the different stems of a single verb to be in different classes or sub-classes.

Forms based on the present stem

The following tenses are based on the present stem:

Notes:

1. In non-finite forms, "mixed" stem means that the strong stem is used in the nominative, vocative, and accusative, and the weak stem is used in other cases.
2. The forms in the above table can be formed from any verb and have predictable meaning (although there may be unpredictable secondary meanings). Besides the above forms, there are many other nouns and adjectives that can be derived from verbs through various suffixes. However, they may not apply to all verbs and the meanings are often unpredictable.

Special verbs

• Deponent verbs: These verbs take passive forms despite being active in meaning.
• The verb "to be":
  • In the passive, it means "to exist".
  • In the middle, it means "to become, to make oneself" or, by extension, "to act as" or even "to pretend to be".
  • Forms based on the non-present stems usually have an inchoative meaning (i.e."to become").
