==== | ====Irregular Verbs ==== | ||
There are two known irregular verbs, ''āsmi'' "be" and ''vāl(i)mi" "want." In addition to being generally irregular, they share the following characteristics: | |||
# They derive from Indo-European ''-mi'' paradigms. | |||
# They lack the perfective/imperfective distinction, having only a "present" and "aorist" tense. | |||
# They have enclitic forms in the present tense These are used in subordinate clauses, e.g.: ''kūs āsi-ga'' "you are a fish," but ''kūs âtti'' "that you are a fish." | |||
It is not known if all Irregular verbs share all these features, nor whether there are any regular verbs that share them. | |||
