Stemmesge

General information
Stemmesge ([ˈsd̥ɪmːɪɹ̠̊˔ʊ]) is a North Germanic language with close ties to Icelandic, Faroese, and Danish.

Verbs
The verbs in Stemmesge are usually very regular. They have four basic forms; infinitive, non-past, past, participle, and imperative.

Stems
The stem of verbs give the verb its meaning and change when they are conjugated. Their basic construction is 1VC, where The ending consonant in a stem cannot be〈v〉. It can be 〈w〉, however, which is usually only allowed in an initial position in a word.
 * 1 is any phonotactically possible combination.
 * V is any vowel.
 * C is consonant.

For example, in the words sofer, æder, and hader, "sof", "æd", and "had" are the stems.

Infinitives
The basic construction of an infinitive is S-er, where The infinitive is used when a verb is unconjugated, usually after a conjugated verb where conjugating a second one is unnecessary.
 * S is the stem
 * er is the "er" suffix

Non-Past
When used alone, this form of a verb encompasses the present tense. To conjugate a regular verb into this form, the final consonant of the stem is geminated and the "er" suffix changes to "e".

Auxiliary verbs can be added before the non-past form of a verb to express the following:
 * wyll  → future tense

Past
The past form of a verb is conjugated in the same way that a non-past verb is, but the "er" ending is changed to "eþ".

Participle
The participle is a form of a verb that acts similarly to an adjective or adverb in a sentence. It is used to make perfect form and passive voice. It is conjugated by changing (ablauting) the last vowel of the stem and changing the "er" to "e".

Ablaut
Ablauting occurs in verbs to form the participle, and it involves changing the final vowel (V in the 1VC construction) of a stem. This also occurs in some irregular nouns. Vowels ablaut as:
 * a → æ
 * å → u
 * æ → e
 * e → i
 * i → ej
 * o → œ
 * œ → y
 * u → åj
 * y → œj
