 ====Tense====
 Verbs have the following principal parts: present, imperfect, perfect, subjunctive/imperative and verbal noun, which are marked with reduplication, ablaut, and/or prefixes.
-The exact paradigm depends on the verb. For stative verbs like ''plang'' 'to stand', present and perfect forms are identical, and the preterite form often denotes dynamic change or views it as a completed action.
+*Present: present or present progressive
+*Imperfect: Like the Spanish imperfect; sometimes an English pluperfect
+*Perfect: Past completed action
+*Future/Subjunctive I: future imperfective
+*Future/Subjunctive II: future perfective
+*Imperative: Present or Subjunctive II

 *Present = Perfect: ''plang'' 'stands; (has) stood'; feminine ''uplang''

-*Future: ''hepălang'' 'will stand' (from ''heφ-'' future tense marker + nominal grade ''pälŋ'' of root √''pläŋ''); feminine ''wepalang''
+*Future: ''hepălang'' 'will stand' (from ''heφ-'' future tense marker + nominal grade ''pälŋ'' of root √''pläŋ''); feminine ''wepălang''
