The infinitive is also used as an imperative: ''ðeht ló oj!'' = 'Give it to her!' Imperatives are negated by placing ''bal'' or ''bawði'' before the verb.

====Inflected verbs====
There are only six inflected lexical verbs (i.e. verbs with inflected past and future forms):
Knench has only seven inflected verbs (i.e. verbs with inflected past and future forms):
*''juð'' 'to be' (the past form ''han'' is cognate to Arabic ''kāna'')
*''juð'' 'to be' (the past form ''han'' is cognate to Arabic ''kāna'')
*''fluð'' 'to do' (from *ʕaśō, with contamination from *paȝal)
*''fluð'' 'to do' (from *ʕaśō, with contamination from *paȝal)

*''kaht'' 'to take' (from *laqaħ)
*''kaht'' 'to take' (from *laqaħ)
*''ðeht'' 'to give' (from *natan, with contamination from *hinīħ 'to leave' and naħħil 'to bequeath')
*''ðeht'' 'to give' (from *natan, with contamination from *hinīħ 'to leave' and naħħil 'to bequeath')
*''bur'' 'to undergo' (from *3abar), used as a passive auxilliary


The finite forms come from the Ancient Knench waw-consecutive. They have become more similar to each other due to analogy.
The ''independent'' forms come from the Ancient Knench waw-consecutive. They have become more similar to each other due to analogy. Using a preverb such as ''lu'' requires the ''dependent'' form, listed in a separate table from the independent forms.


Even verbs with finite forms are defective verbs, since finite forms are always perfective (except forms of ''juð''). To express the imperfective with these verbs, you still have to use the copula + bə + VN construction. The negator ''lu'' only negates finite verbs.
