Critical to the construction of the verb and verb phrase is the '''copula''', of which there exists both a '''positive''' and a '''negative''' copula. Additionally, there exists an infinitive form of the verb that is used when constructing moods. | Critical to the construction of the verb and verb phrase is the '''copula''', of which there exists both a '''positive''' and a '''negative''' copula.

Since verbs are constructed regularly via predictable combinatorics, it is useful to make a generalized template with which to consult. | |||
* '''α''' is a verb in the perfective aspect construction | |||
* '''β''' is a verb in the imperfective aspect construction | |||
* '''V''' is the primary verb | |||
* subscript "copula" means that that verb is the copula | |||
* subscript "modal" means that that verb is a modal verb | |||
* subscript "infinitive" means that that verb is in the infinitive form of the verb | |||
* superscript "+" or "-" means that that verb is either the positive or the negative form (of the copula) | |||
Additionally, to see an example of an inflected word, included in the paradigms is the 1st person singular inflection for the root '''N-Y-L''', which refers to writing. | |||
