Morphology is the most complex part of Old Tíogall. Much of Proto-Talmic morphology survives in Old Tíogall. However, Old Tíogall is most notorious for its verbal absolute-conjunct allomorphy.

Old Tíogall displays extensive verb allomorphy. Examples: túsaiṁ 'he prays', ní·túsa 'he does not pray'; as·taċa 'he proves', ní·stóċ 'he does not prove'.

actually as·taċa shouldn't be that bad: as·taċa, ní·astaċ
