Verbs
The verb conjugation of Proto-Rider is partly invented and partly based on Insular Celtic. Here is the basic conjugation [~ is the root vowel, = is the personal (present) ending]:

The conditional is formed by conjugating the future of hiso and the past of the verb. The subjunctive is formed by conjugating the present of kona and the infinitive. The past subjunctive is formed with the past of kona and the infinitive.
