-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.
+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 a pronoun or an overt noun preceding the verb.  Pro-drop is allowed only in embedded clauses and only if the subject of the embedded clause is the same as that of its matrix clause.  Mood is for the most part indicated by particles preceding the main verb; however, an inflectional 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.
