===Transitive verbs=== | |||
These verbs require the subject to be in [[w:Ergative case|ergative case]] (-s), and place the subject mark at the end of the verb and the object mark at the beginning. There are two types: | |||
*Verbs ending in ''-lk, -nk'' or ''-rk'', which mark the perfective aspect with -k (gulk, polk, xank, tark). | |||
*Verbs ending in ''-i'', which mark the perfective aspect with -i (tidosi, libi, koni, tturti). These verbs are always stressed in the penultimate syllable. | |||
===Intransitive verbs=== | |||
These verbs require the absolutive case in the subject (-e, -i, -a, -Ø and plurals). They always end in vowel, mostly -a or -e, and are stressed in the antepenultimate syllable. They place the subject at the beginning of the word. Intransitive verbs mark the perfective aspect by adding -s at the end of the verb. | |||
