			Simple converbs come in two forms: simultaneous and consecutive.

	===~~Form~~===		===Simultaneous===
	The simple converb is formed by reduplicating the stressed vowel of the verb to the beginning of the word.		The simple simultaneous converb is formed by reduplicating the stressed vowel of the verb to the beginning of the word.
	:''gura'' -> ''ugura''		:''gura'' -> ''ugura''

	~~Converbs do not take any verbal inflection (i.e. trigger suffixes). However, they can take derivational suffixes~~.		Simultaneous converbs have an adverbial meaning that happens in parallel or in conjunction with the main verb.

	===~~Adverbial Meaning~~===		===Consecutive===
	The simple converb inherits all of the arguments from the main verb.		The simple consecutive converb is formed by reduplicating the initial sound of the verb followed by a '' ' ''. If the verb does not begin with a consonant, ''n'' is used instead.
			:''gura'' -> ''g'gura''

			Consecutive converbs form serial verb like constructions with the implied meaning of 'and then' - the actions happen one after the other.

			===Converb Arguments===
			The simple converb (either form) inherits all of the arguments from the main verb.

	Converb form: T--

			==Simple Converb==

			===Form===
			The simple converb is formed by reduplicating the stressed vowel of the verb to the beginning of the word.
			:''gura'' -> ''ugura''.

			Converbs do not take any verbal inflection (i.e. aspect infixes or trigger suffixes). However, they can take derivational suffixes.

			===Adverbial Meaning===
			The simple converb inherits all of the arguments from the main verb.

			==Complex Converb==
			A complex converb is one that includes noun-incorporation.

			===Form===
			The complex form is created by compounding a noun with a verb, and then reduplicating the stressed vowel of the verb to the front of the compound.
			: ''gura semoa'' -> ''uzemoagura''

			===Incorporated Noun Meaning===
			Complex converbs inherit the trigger argument of the main verb. The incorporated noun acts as a secondary argument of the converb.

			Most commonly, the noun will fill the accusative role for the converb, but this isn't exclusive. The exact argument that the argument fills is usually defined by the context of the utterance.
