This article will cover Elipa verbs, including how they conjugate by person, tenses, moods, etc. Verbs tend to be the first element of a clause in Elipa - the exception being adverbs of time, and reflexive pronouns which precede the verb.
[top]Personal endings
In Elipa, there are personal verb endings (suffixes) for various persons. Note that there is an option alternate ending for female speakers when using 1st person endings. Females may also use the masculine/neuter ending as well.
| Ends in: | Singular | Plural | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st person (Masc/Neuter) | 1st person (Feminine) | 2nd person | 3rd person | 1st person (Masc/Neuter) | 1st person (Feminine) | 2nd person | 3rd person | |
| Vowel (-V) | +m | +v | +k | +∅ | +mid | +nid | +kid | +pid** |
| Consonant (-C)* | +im | +iv | +ik | |||||
** 3rd person plural form
If the subject of the sentence is clearly plural, then you don't need to use the +pid suffix. Observe the examples below where the former has a subject that is plural, the latter is unclear, so the +pid suffix is used.
| Õze kahd kuhomto | The owls drink some water |
| Õzepid kuhomto | They drink some water |
