==Verb==
The Aurónian verb is conjugated for person, number, and tense. The standard language is no longer inflected for moods besides the imperative but instead uses specific particles to fill this role.
There are dialectal differences regarding how the tenses are built, shfiting between synthetic and periphrastic constructions. In rural areas it is not uncommon to hear ''lúsann'' 'I shall light' for the future tense of the verb {{term|lúcadh}} 'to light, to illuminate' instead of the periphrastic ''bhú lúcadh''.
The present tense is formed simply for all regular thematic verbs by adding the relevant person suffixes.
{| class="bluetable"
!colspan="2"|lúcadh ''to illuminate''
|-
!person||
|-
|first||lúcann
|-
|second||lúcas
|-
|third||lúcadh
|-
|first pl.||lúcan
|-
|second pl.||lúcadh
|-
|third pl.||lúcannad
|}
For the future tense, in addition to using an inflected verb form, one can also use a construction using ''bhúi'' (past & future form of the verb ''ísan'' 'to be') and the infinitive.
{| class="bluetable"
!colspan="10"|future tense
|-
!colspan="2"|person||colspan="4"|synthetic||colspan="4"|periphrastic
|-
|colspan="2"|first||colspan="4"|lúsann||bhúi<ref name="bhui"></ref> lúcadh ía
|-
|colspan="2"|second||colspan="4"|lúsir||bhúiris lúcadh (dhú)
|-
|colspan="2"|third||colspan="4"|lúsidh||bhúiridh lúcadh (so)
|-
|colspan="2"|first pl.||colspan="4"|lúsim||bhúirim lúcadh (úei)
|-
|colspan="2"|second pl.||colspan="4"|lúsidh||bhúiridh lúcadh (íe)
|-
|colspan="2"|third pl.||colspan="4"|lúsannad||bhúiran lúcadh (sei)
|-
|}
===Notes===
<ref name="bhui">All of these can be replaced with a single ''bhúi'' if the pronoun follows, which is more often the standard than the exception.</ref>
