Aeranir verbs have two basic [[w:Grammatical aspect|aspects]], which express how the verb extends over time. Aspect differs from [[w:Grammatical tense|tense]] in that it deals with the completion or continuity of an action or state, rather than the absolute timeframe inwhich it took place. Each aspect may be in any [[w:Grammatical voice|voice]] and/or [[w:Grammatical mood|mood]]. Aspect is expressed primarily through endings, and secondarily through the suffix, as discussed above. | Aeranir verbs have two basic [[w:Grammatical aspect|aspects]], which express how the verb extends over time.
