Aethêllan: Difference between revisions

In Aethêllan there are two classes of verbs and these two classes each have two forms of verbs both have five principle parts coming to a total of four different forms of verbs. There are some irregular verbs however they will not be included in this section. There are ''Strong'' Verbs and ''Weak'' Verbs. Unlike nouns however, the two verbs are not differentiated by their phonology nor by their meaning, rather one must learn the three principle parts in order to know to which class the verb belongs. Most verbs do have a rather obvious phonological pattern however reliance on phonological similarities will not be enough to properly learn all verbs and their corresponding forms correctly. As stated above, all irregular verbs will be, for the ease of formatting, displayed in another more convenient section. The three principal parts are the present active infinitive, the present imperfective, the past aorist (r simple past), the present perfect and the supine displayed in that order.  

'''NB''' Which class and form each verb takes is dependent on the verb stem, which is not seen in writing or heard in everyday speech, thus the three principal parts make it clear to speakers whether the verb is a strong one or not and which paradigm the verb follows.

'''Strong Verb 1st Class'''

'''Strong Verb 2nd Class'''
