 Only the imperative/infinitive survives in lexical verbs. There is also a passive participle in ''-ơd'' (only used as an adjective).
-VSO syntax with the verbal noun form is often used in narratives.
+Maghrebi Azalic uses a Biblical Hebrew-like tense system, under older [[Knench]] influence:
+* Proto-Azalic sigmatic, ''ekh'' + sigmatic = yiqṭol, wayyiqṭol
+* Proto-Azalic stative, ''ekh'' + stative = qåṭal, wăqåṭal
+* imperative
+The particle ''ekh'', which is analogous to the Hebrew waw-consecutive, derives from PIE *h₁esti-kʷe; it was first used with the sigmatic to disambiguate the past meaning of the sigmatic from the subjunctive meaning, and was extended to the stative by analogy.
 ===Auxiliaries===
-{{PAGENAME}} has an auxiliary verb system similar to Colloquial Welsh. In addition, there is a T-V distinction: the 2nd person plural is also used as a polite pronoun.

-The choice of preposition before the lexical verb also controls the tense:
-*''Im ot mơ het'' = I eat/I am eating (lit. I am at my eating)
-** ''ot mơ het'' = when I eat (lit. at my eating)
-*''Im pho mơ het'' = I have eaten (lit. I am after my eating)
-** ''pho mơ het'' = after I eat (lit. after my eating)
