	Peshpeg verbs mark for tense and aspect. Verbs fall in three broad classes, based on how they mark the past vs. the non-past tenses: the ''zu-/vu-'' class, the etymologically related ''z-/v-'' class, and the ''u-/u-'' class. Another feature of the verb is that plural verb stems get truncated; an example ''~~uzgozhuadzh~~'' "I ~~rode~~", vs. ''~~uzgozua~~'' "We ~~rode~~".		Peshpeg verbs mark for tense and aspect.
