====Verb Classes==== | ====Verb Classes==== | ||
There are nine verb classes in modern Saxuma, most of which can be immediately determined by looking at the word itself, though some must be learned. | |||
* The '''regular conjugation''' includes all verbs not outlined below, and all end in short, monophthong vowels. It is divided into strong and weak conjugations, the strong being any that end in -e, -o, or -CCV, and the weak those that end in a single consonant followed by -a, -i, or -u. | |||
* The '''-sa conjugation''' includes all verbs that would be a regular weak conjugation, but the consonant before -a, -i, or -u is <s> or <x>. | |||
* The '''-fa conjugation''' includes all verbs that would be a regular weak conjugation, but the consonant before -a, -i, or -u is <f>. | |||
* The '''-ra conjugation''' includes all verbs that would be a regular weak conjugation, but the consonant before -a, -i, or -u is <r>. | |||
* The '''-N conjugation''' includes all verbs ending in -n, -m, or -y. | |||
* The '''-S conjugation''' includes all verbs ending in -s or -x. | |||
* The '''-T conjugation''' includes all verbs ending in -k, -t, and -p, and some ending in long -ē. | |||
* The '''-H conjugation''' includes most, but not all, verbs ending in a long vowel. | |||
* The '''-L conjugation''' includes a small number of verbs ending in long ō and ū. | |||
* The '''-aw irregular conjugation''' includes a small number of verbs ending in aw, and an even smaller number ending in ō. | |||
We will detail below how each verb ending inflects to the different conjugation patterns. | |||
