Togarmite/Old/Gzarot

Gzarot (Hebrew, sg. gizra 'figure, form, pattern') in Togarmite are variations of an inflectional (especially verbal) paradigm that are determined by the choice of consonants in the consonantal root. Thus, a paradigm has not only a regular gizra but various irregular ones, which occur most commonly when

  • the consonantal root contains a "guttural" (ʔ ȝ ħ h) or a semivowel (y w);
  • the consonantal root contains a n, since nC tends to assimilate into CC
  • the consonantal root has 2 letters.

This irregularity can affect verbs up to the second consonant.

This creates some binyan ambiguity: nujjā́r may be the passive of the φa3āl stem najā́r or the passive of the φa33ēl stem najjḗr. Such verbs often would take both paradigms freely.

Examples: naφāl 'he fell'; najār 'he guarded'

These verbs have 3sg.m past from *-aya and without gender/number affixes in the prefix conjugation, from *-iyu. A lot of analogy has taken place in this gizra, as in Hebrew. Dialectal variation poses additional complexity, with forms yabnė́, yabnā́yī, yabnā́yū, yabnáyna being used for yabnḗ, yabnī́, yabnū́, yabnḗna in some dialects.
