Skylandic verbs are classified using two sets of classifications — based on how they conjugate and on how they look. Based on how they look, a Skylandic verb can either be '''Germanic''' or '''French-y'''. Germanic verbs are called that not because they evolved from PGmc, but because end in the infinitive suffix '''-en''' while French-y verbs are called that not because they are French loans, but because they end in one of these endings: '''-ir, oir,''' or '''-re'''. Based on how they conjugate, they can be '''strong, weak, irregular''' or '''special'''. Most of the Germanic verbs are either weak or strong (depending on spelling; see below) while French-y verbs are mostly irregular. ''Special verbs'', on the other hand, are a set of regular French-y verbs that have a separate regular conjugation scheme of their own. | Skylandic verbs are classified using two sets of classifications — based on how they conjugate and on how they look.

'''Strong verbs''' are verbs that conjugate by changing their stem vowel alongside annexing a conjugation suffix. This kind of vowel change is usually called '''''ablaut''''' and in this case it's a PIE or '''Proto-Indo-European ablaut'''. But unlike its IRL relatives, Skylandic doesn't classify strong verbs based on its etymological root's spelling, but on the verbs' current spelling themselves. Also, instead of having all seven classes, Skylandic now only has five (5) strong verb classes.<br><br> | |||
'''Class 1.''' These are verbs that contain the stem vowel '''-ei-''' [ɛ]. most of these verbs evolved from PGmc verbs that has the stem vowel *ī. Their vowel changes are as follows. | |||
