====Conjugation of prefixed verbs==== | |||
Verbs derived from other verbs are conjugated the same as their base verbs. The only exceptions to this rule are the verbs derived from ''iss'' and ''heppt'', which become ''zyt'' and ''hyf'' respectively when a prefix is added. Both are then conjugated like weak verbs. | |||
Verbs derived from other parts of speech are almost always weak, except if the base word has y as its stem vowel, in which case it is strong. Thus ''ossrʉt'' is weak while ''ausgyg'' is strong. | |||
====Separation==== | |||
As mentioned, the stressed prefixes can be separated from the root. This happens in the main clause, whereas the prefix remains attached in subordinate clauses. | |||
