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.
