-Skyrdagor verbs inflect for person (subject and object), gender, definiteness, tense, and mood. Two of the main notable features of Skyrdagor is that there are two different conjugation patterns for definite and indefinite objects and aspects are not distinguished morphologically at all. Gender is marked sporadically in subjects, namely in 2nd and 3rd singular and 3rd plural in the indefinite conjugation and in 3rd persons in the definite one, while it is marked in all persons except the 1st singular and plural inclusive for objects.
+Skyrdagor, like all other Fargulyn languages, has a split-S alignment. It distinguishes four different tenses - present, future, recent past, and remote past - and three aspects (perfective, habitual, and continuous) in all of them but the future (where habitual and continuous are merged, but the perfective is still distinct). Skyrdagor verbs furthermore agree with either the patient or the agent for intransitive verbs and with both of them for transitive ones; third-person agreement for both of them also encodes (in)definiteness.
-====Present indefinite====
+There are participles and gerundives (distinguishing aspect only) and an analytic antipassive voice, formed with the gerundive plus the conjugated form of ''ojdh'' "to go" (e.g. "I eat" ''mil fah'' → ''uj fahund ojdh'').
+<!-- ====Present indefinite====
 Skyrdagor verbs are mostly conjugated agglutinatively, but there are hints to a former system of vowel harmony. The 1st person singular indefinite is the citation form, as it is the most unmarked form of the verb. Non-3rd person objects do not exist in present indefinite, as they're intrinsecally definite.

 As an example, 2743 translates as ''thus el thlegska zy prog noth zy melbryk skeg'', pronounced [ˈθuʃəlθlɛʃkə zɯprɔˈnɔθ zɯˈmɛlbrɯˌɧa]. "2743 women" is ''thusnydh lezsa el thlegska zy prog noth zy melbryk skeg'' [θuʃnɯ(ð) ˈlɛʒa‿lˈθlɛʃkə zɯprɔˈnɔθ zɯˈmɛlbrɯˌɧa]. -->
