examples using three different verbs:whem (to demonstrate one syllable verbs)
alíesk (to demonstrate verbs beginning with a vowel)
daehwan (to demonstrate verbs beginning with a consonant)
in short, the rules are:
- past tense: infix -in- (if beginning with a consonant), or prefix in- (if beginning with a vowel)
- future tense: infix -isk- (if beginning with a consonant), or prefix isk- (if beginning with a vowel)
- perfect aspect: duplicate first syllable
- progressive aspect: add 'sa' before the verb
- habitual aspect: prefix pa- (in general), or pe- (if beginning with the monograph 'a', as opposed to the digraphs 'au' or 'ae')
- negative: add 'bu' before the verb, as well as before 'sa', if there is one

and i didn't put this in because it would waste space, but you suffix -pajl to form a gerund
edit 10/20/22: changed the word "vem" to "whem" to fit the spelling of the current version of Kaeshaw, as opposed to a previous version that i have written down in a notebook ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
