The weak verb conjugation is slightly more varied based off the thematic vowel of the verb. The thematic vowel divides verb conjugation into four declensions. The thematic vowel is always indicated by the infinitive. They are as follows: | |||
* Class I (inf. ''-jen'', eg. ''souzjen'') with the thematic vowel ''-i''. The ''-i'' becomes a ''-j'' before a vowel. | |||
* Class II (inf. ''-on'', eg. ''salbon'') with the thematic vowel ''-o''. The ''-o'' deletes any vowel after it. | |||
* Class III (inf. ''-en'', eg. ''evan'') with the thematic vowel ''-e''. The ''-e'' is deleted by a preceding vowel, stop or silibant. | |||
* Class IV (inf. ''-nen'', eg. ''fulnen'') with the thematic ending ''-ne''. The ''-e'' is deleted by a preceding vowel, stop or silibant and it becomes ''-no'' in the past tense. | |||
The III. class has a small amount of verbs in it. This means that even though it and the strong verbs share an infinitive ending, one can assume that the ''-en'' ending is for a strong verb. | |||
