Verbs in '''Eḥeiθymme''' are predominantly aspectual, and show no overt morphological distinction to reflect time. Tenses are constructed typically by periphrasis. Mood is constructed via periphrasis with one of several modal verbs. Voice is distinguished morphologically in unison with periphrasis. | |||
Critical to the construction of the verb and verb phrase is the '''copula''', of which there exists both a '''positive''' and a '''negative''' copula. | |||
