=== Verbs ===
=== Verbs ===
Verbs are constructed as follows: [contextual prefixes]-[root]-[adverbial suffixes]-[inflectional suffixes].
Verbs are inflected with the same affixes as the noun they relate to. Verbs are inflected for time as follows:

* Contextual prefixes are those of the noun to which the verb is related i.e. Definiteness-negation-class-number
* Root is the stem of the word
* Adverbial suffixes are roots of adverbs that modify the verb such as quality, quantity, size etc.
* Inflectional suffixes tell you the aspect and mood.

This has the same word order as the Interrogative mood except that there are no grammatical markers on the head verb. A periphrastic construction using the modifier -'''mperatur''' in an indicative sentence can have the same semantic effect. For instance, '''Ashamiliya, beBakhilfanya!''' (Assimilate, Packilvanians) is in the indicative mood. '''Bebakhilfanya beashamiliya bemperatur''' (Directly: Packilvanians Assimilate must or indirectly: Packilvanians must assimilate). The latter example is in the indicative mood.

==== Intensive and diminutive mood ====
Intensive mood indicates that the verb is done intensely. Uses the same intensive form for modifiers by adding the suffix -'''gur''' or -'''gurgur''' (double intensive). For the diminutive mood, the suffix -'''mne''' or -'''mnemne''' (double diminutive) is used. Example: '''Bemanjemnemne''' (Eat (very little)).
