 ===Verbs===
-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, e.g.''zeganuadzh'' "I spoke", from the stem ''-egan-''; vs. ''zegzua'' "We spoke", from the stem ''-eg-''.
+Peshpeg verbs consist of an inflected auxiliary followed by a verbal noun.  The auxiliary developed from the fusion of a bound subject marker to the connective particle ''mon'', derived from the Minhast connective ''min'', to the locative suffix ''-bi'', plus a tense-aspect marker, followed by the verbal noun which contains the semantic content of the verb phrase.
