 ===Verbs===
-The Golahát verb is moderately synthetic, capable of indicating voice, tense, and aspect.  Three tenses, a present, past, and future are distinguished.  Three aspects are marked, namely the habitual, imperfect and perfect.  However, person is not marked and requires context or explicitly stating the core argument.  Modality is indicated by particles preceding the main verb.
+The Ín Duári verb is moderately synthetic, capable of indicating voice, tense, and aspect.  Three tenses, a present, past, and future are distinguished.  Additionally, three aspects are marked, namely the habitual, imperfect and perfect.  However, person is not marked and requires context or explicitly stating the core argument.  Mood is for the most part indicated by particles preceding the main verb; however, a Purposive mood exists.
+Ín Duári lacks an infinitive but possesses two non-finite forms, namely the gerund and participle, and a base verbal noun, which may take additional derivational suffixes.
+The following table demonstrates the conjugation of the regular verb ''va'' (to see):

+The Purposive exists only in the Active voice.  Additionally, the Past and Non-Past Habitual forms have merged.

+Unlike its relative Nidâri, Ín Duári does not have a negative verbal affix; negation is indicated by the particle ''kel'' which must come before the verb, although other constituents may intervene between the negator and the verb:
+''Kel Renviar var Anzi renzuiþ Haþlua men Kirmaþ'' (Renviar did not go to Anzi to kill Wolf Speakers).
