== Verbs ==
Talothic verbs have lexical aspect, meaning that verbs are inherently marked with either the [[w:Imperfective aspect|imperfective]] or [[w:Perfective aspect|perfective]] aspects.  Furthermore, these aspects may be combined with the [[w:Present tense|present]], [[w:Past tense|past]], and [[w:Aorist|aorist]] tenses to form compound tenses.
