Introduction

The Regular verbs in Kyrsk are divided into two categories:

• Weak: verbs with a postfix in infinitive. Those form the majority of Kyrsk words. They subdivide into several subcategories depending on the vowel in the ending and root, and follow common set of rules.
  Examples:

• Strong: a far smaller set consisting of one-syllable verbs with no ending. Many of them serve as modal. They often have a special paradigm.
  Exampes:

A few Irregular verbs like er "be" and ig "go" have a complex supplevite paradigm, and will be discussed separately.

The verb conjugation in Kyrsk is drastically simplified in comparison to Proto-Italic. What it retains are:

• Three Tenses: Present, Past and Future

• Three Moods: Indicative, Subjunctive and Imperative

• Two Voices: Active and Passive

Other forms are:

• Infinitive

• Present Participle

• Past Participle - declinated as Adjective

• Imperative

Infinitive

Infinitive is the dictionary form of the verb. The infinitive of a Weak verb consists of the root and the suffix: -a, -e or -je. Strong verbs have zero-ending.

Conjugated forms

Tense

All Regular verbs, both Weak and Strong, both in Indicative and Subjunctive mood, form their Tenses by adding a Tense suffix to the ifinitive. Those are

• Present Tense: -r

• Past Tense: -v

• Future tense: -s

Origins:

Subjunctive Mood

The dictionary form is the Indicative. The Subjunctive mood causes in umlaut affecting the ending and (sometimes) the root vowel. Namely:

Weak Verbs:

If a weak verb ends in -a in infinitive, it is replaced with -e-.

Example:

If a weak verb ends in -e, it is replaced with -je-

Example:

If a weak verb ends in -je, an umlaut is applied to the root vowel - see Umlaut rule (upcoming)

Example:

Strong Verbs:

In most cases, the Umlaut rule (upcoming) is applied to the verb's only vowel:

Examples:

There are several exceptions that have to be memorized separately.

Examples?

Irregular Verbs:

See respective conjugation tables (perhaps, one day...).

Imperative Mood

For Weak verbs, the Imperative mood is formed be removing the ending

Examples:

For Strong verbs, Imperative coincides with the Infinitive.

Passive Voice

For all regular verbs, the Passive voice is formed is formed by replacing the Tense suffix with -s. It is thus phonetically coincides with the Future Active, and thus has to be inferred from the context.

Examples:

Participles

Present Participle

For all Regular verbs, present participle is formed by annding -nde to the Infinitive.

Examples:

Past Participle
