Notes:
- In the table below E stands for stressed vowel of the verb.
- If the verb stem ends in a vowel and the suffix begins with one, then the verb stem vowel is dropped before the suffix is added.
Adverbs
Adverbs are a closed class of words that can appear after the verb. See NewLang/Adverbs.
Non-Finite Verbs
Converbs
Converbs are formed via reduplication of the stressed vowel to the front of the verb. E.g. gura -> uguraa. Converbs cannot take trigger suffixes.
Participles
Participles are formed by reduplicating the stressed vowel in place with ' between the duplicates. E.g. tenis -> te'enis.
Action Nominals
Action Nominals are created by adding a noun derivational suffix to the verb. This places the nominal into the appropriate noun class, and triggers the appropriate vowel harmony.
