Adwan/Irregular Verbs

Irregular verbs, though not as abundant as they are in other languages such as English, are quite common amongst importat, common vowels in Adwan. Irregular verbs pose problems in Adwan, for while some are merely person-conjugation changes and keep regular verb affixes, others completely alter them.

The consistency between irregular verbs is not very good, as many of them differ in the typs of irregularities.

To Be - Þuðan
The verb "þuðan" in Adwan is among the most irregular verbs in Adwan. Unlike common regular verbs, the verb to be has lost its agglutinative nature. Tenses are still being conjugated into the verb, as are moods and the middle voice, though the distinction between aspect relies on auxilliary verbs. These verbs are, as a matter of fact, copular verbs and, while they mean the same thing as the regular verbs, they are not used in the same fashion. Below is a list of Þuðan's basic conjugation with tense, aspect, and other constructions. Being irregular, Þuðan's participle shows no relation not only to the infinitive, but to the stem, which in itself is already increadibly irregular and tends to vary from person to person and tense to tense. Please note, however, that auxilliary verbs tend to mimic, if only weakly, the verb's actual conjugation.

The verb to be follows the V3 rule, however, participles account for their own lexical item and not a verb, therefore leaving them with free placement (though usually, the participle goes after the verb, unless a personal pronoun isn't used). Along with that, the verb to be governs the accusative.

To Go - Ton
The verb for to go, Ton, is different from the verb to be. While the conjugation and affixes change, the past participle stays the same for Ton. Note that only tense and aspect affixes change. Voice, mood and polarity affixes remain the same, as do other verb modifiers (the supine ďy-/ďyk, the gerund na-/nan-, etc).

To Have - Þuran
The verb Þuran, or to have, follows the same rules as Ton when it comes to affixes.
