=====Past tense===== | |||
There are several past tenses which differ in their aspect state. | |||
'''Past I''' | |||
The first past tense is used for events that occurred in the past without a specified end. It is formed morphologically by affixing ''-ir-'' to the naked consonantal stem and then the appropriate person endings. | |||

If the verb stem ends in a vowel, it is lengthened before adding ''-r-''. | |||
