 ===Verbs===
+Verbs possess a relatively simple agglutinative morphology. Each verb consists of a stem to which affixes denoting such things as tense, person and aspect are added. Finite verbs have two tenses: the present (or non-past) is denoted by the suffix ''-d-'', and the past by the suffix ''-s-'' added directly to the end of the stem. To these are added one of the following suffixes:
+* ''-e'' denoting the simple active
+* ''-or'' denoting the simple passive
+* ''-ja'' denoting the relative active
+* ''-oŕa'' (''-or-ja-'') denoting the relative passive
+Finally the NA pronouns are added to show a pronominal subject. In the case of 3sg pronouns or nouns (whether singular or plural), no subject suffix is added.
+''car-d-e-mi'' = ''cardemi'' "I love"
+''ńa-d-ja-je'' = ''ńaģaje'' "who they bite"
