 ==Grammar==
-Verbs come in many conjugations -- the key is to remember the present tense stem, the past tense stem and the infinitive. Here is narinru 'to see', a typical nasal-stem verb.
+English and Semitic elements
-ia nariim 'I see'
-mu narii 'you see'
-uran narittan 'he/she sees'
-uru narin 'it sees'
-iatam nariintam 'we see'
-mutam nariittam 'you see'
-urantam narittantam 'they see' (animate)
-uttam narintam 'they see' (inanimate)
-(Notice the consistent plural suffix -tam.)
-Another example: katanru 'to stand':
-kataam, kataa, katattan, katan, kataantam, kataattam, katantam
-The roots are narin- and katan- respectively. To form the present progressive, add the verb nirru to the root:
-narinniram, narinnira, narinnirtan, narinnirta, narinnirantam, narinnirattam, narinnirtantam, narinnirtatam (I am seeing, you are seeing, ...)
-katanniram, katannira, ... (I am standing, you are standing, ...)
-For the past tense, in nasal root verbs, the nasal gets labialized and there is an infix -i-:
-narimiim, narimii, narimitan, narimin, narimiintam, narimiittam, narimitantam, narimintam
+''asminu'' = I remember
-There are also vowel-root verbs: an example is kankaru 'to shine':
+''asmānu'' = I remembered
-kankaram, kankara, kankatan, kanka, kankarantam, kankarattam, kankatantam, kankatam (in present)
+''rasmūnu'' = I have remembered
-kankaniram, kankanira, kankanirtan, ... (in present progressive)
-kankappam, kankappa, kankaptan, kankapan, ... (in past)
-Some verbs are irregular, as in pahttaru 'to eat':
+a "pi33el" verb: ''asittiru, asattāru, rasuttūru'' -- default for 4 consonant roots?
-patram, patra, pahttatan, pahtta, ... (present)
+a "hif3il" verb (saCCaC, saCaCCaC in Siro): asatkamu, asatkamatā, rasatkamatu
-pahtaniram, ... (present progressive)
-pahttiim, pahttii, pahttitan, pahttin, ... (past)

+verbnoun (masdar) affixes: CaCCinku or CaCCaCinku in pa3al, ta- in other binyanim
