===Verbs===
Verbs have absolute and conjunct stems, much like in Old Irish. With a preverb or an incorporandum, the conjunct form is used.
The process of attaching preverbs such as prepositions to verbs was productive in Proto-Talmic, which then was repurposed for applicatives and for noun incorporation in Old Roshterian [unlike in Thensarian which took a path more akin to IE languages].
The process of attaching preverbs such as prepositions to verbs was productive in Proto-Talmic, which then was repurposed for applicatives and for noun incorporation in Old Roshterian [unlike in Thensarian which took a path more akin to IE languages].
The forms came from the following stress pattern:
{| class="bluetable lightbluebg" style=" text-align: center;"
|+ Verb stress patterns in Pre-Roshterian [immediately after stress shift]
|-
! style="width: 90px;" |
! style="width: 100px;" | preverb
! |
! style="width: 100px;" | first
!  style="width: 100px;" | ...
!  style="width: 100px;" | penult
!  style="width: 100px;" | final
|-
! Absolute
| ''-''
! |
| '''secondary''' || unstressed || '''primary''' || unstressed
|-
! Conjunct
| '''secondary'''
! |
| unstressed || unstressed|| '''primary''' || unstressed
|}
Handwave: This creates a succession of unstressed syllables in the conjunct form which gets smooshed together in Old Roshterian. Or maybe no syncope, but some sort of vowel harmonization
Examples:
{| class="bluetable"
|-
! Person  !! ''ṋoṱiəṋi'' "I rest" (independent) !! ''mī-ṋṱiəṋi'' "I do not rest" (dependent)
|-
| 1SG || ṋoṱiəṋi || mī-ṋṱiəṋi
|-
| 2SG || ṋoṱiəri || mī-ṋṱiəri
|-
| 3SG.M || ṋoṱiəmi || mī-ṋṱiəmi
|-
| 3SG.F || ṋoṱiəsi || mī-ṋṱiəsi
|-
| 3SG.N || ṋoṱiə || mī-ṋṱiə
|-
| 1EX || ṋoṱiəmē || mī-ṋṱiəmē
|-
| 1IN || ṋoṱiəṋṱi || mī-ṋṱiəṋṱi
|-
| 2PL || ṋoṱiəsṱi || mī-ṋṱiəsṱi
|-
| 3PL || ṋoṱiəbi || mī-ṋṱiəbi
|}
For verbs that already have a preverb, this works a little differently. For example, consider the verb ''hē-poldəṋi'' "I praise", an applicative verb formed with ''hē-'' 'about' + ''poldəṋi'' 'sing':
{| class="bluetable"
|-
! Person  !! ''hē-poldəṋi'' "I praise" (independent) !! ''mīs-epoləṋi'' "I do not praise" (dependent)
|-
| 1SG || hē-poldəṋi || mīs-epodəṋi
|-
| 2SG || hē-poldəri || mīs-epodəri
|-
| 3SG.M || hē-poldəmi|| mīs-epodəmi
|-
| 3SG.F || hē-poldəsi || mīs-epodəsi
|-
| 3SG.N || hē-poldə || mīs-epodə
|-
| 1EX || hē-poldəmē || mīs-epodəmē
|-
| 1IN || hē-poldəṋṱi || mīs-epodəṋṱi
|-
| 2PL || hē-poldəsṱi || mīs-epodəsṱi
|-
| 3PL || hē-poldəbi || mīs-epodəbi
|}
In Modern Roshteriann these stems are cited as ''heepoḻyn, -(s)epryn''; ''heepoḻyn, miisepryn'' 'I praise, I do not praise'.
