Verb Conjugation

There are four conjugations in Gcè Dlaryv. The conjugation of a verb is identified by its dictionary form: -o is the first conjugation, -iwn is second conjugation, -un is third conjugation, and -ýn is fourth conjugation.

Present Tense Conjugation

The first conjugation is characterized by the vowel -a. An example of a first conjugation verb is aro 'to ride'.

The second conjugation is characterized by -i. An example of a second conjugation verb is alhiwn 'to have'.

The third conjugation is characterized by -u. An example of a third conjugation verb is bóvýmun 'to come'.

The fourth conjugation, similar to the fourth declension, is the result of vowel mutations following uvulars. It is characterized by the vowel -y, and an example of a fourth conjugation verb is sighýn 'to write'.

Past Tense Conjugation

Past tense conjugation is the most difficult conjugation process in the language. This is due to the tumultuous history of Gcè Dlaryv's past tense. Gcè Dlaryv descends from Proto-Ennarian, which had two past tenses: a perfect communicated with reduplication of the first syllable, and an aorist communicated with an auxiliary. Overtime, these two tenses merged into one simple past, with the form of the past tense for each verb being split 50/50 between the old perfect and old aorist. Verbs that use the old perfect are called 'solar verbs', while verbs using the old aorist are called 'lunar verbs'. Solar verbs receive present tense endings in the past tense, albeit with a different stem, while lunar verbs receive an entirely different set of endings.

Future Tense and Jussive Conjugation

Future tense conjugation and jussive conjugation behave in a rather similar way; both conjugate the first, second, and third conjugations in the exact same way, while the fourth conjugation behaves somewhat differently

The future tense loosely resembles the third and fourth conjugations present.

Abilitive Conjugation

Abilitive conjugation does not change between conjugations.

Reciprocal Verbs

Reciprocal verbs are a form of defective verbs that occurs often in Gce Dlaryv. Often beginning with the prefix mith-, reciprocal verbs conjugate only for plural subjects, as by their very nature they describe actions that occur between multiple participants.

Stative Verbs

Stative verbs are another form of defective verbs that commonly occur in Gce Dlaryv. They only occur in the past tense, and usually describe a state of being or emotion. They can translate as both present or past tense verbs
