Verb conjugation is the most simple aspect of Archaeval grammar:
Present tense
To form a statement, the noun precedes the simple form of the verb, and the two are joined by a hyphen.
To form a question, the simple form of the verb precedes the noun, and the two are joined by a hyphen
Past tense
There is only one form of the past tense: what has happened.
To form a statement, the noun precedes the simple form of the past verb (hapen), and then the verb in question follows. All three are joined with hyphens.
To form a statement, the verb precedes hapen, and the construction is concluded with the noun. All three are joined with hyphens.
Future tense
There are two future tenses: what will happen and what might happen.
What will happen:
To form a statement, the noun precedes the simple form of the confirmatory future verb búdú, and the construction in concluded with the verb in question. All three are joined with hyphens
To form a question, reverse this order as done in the past tense.
What might happen:
To form a statement, the noun precedes the simple form of the possible future verb búdúmoẍé, and then the verb in question. All hyphenated.
Reverse order to form a question.
