[edit] Conjugation Overview

Verbs in Kиipƒi conjugate by person, number and tensemood(imperative and rest of the tenses).

They conjugate like that:

tensemood stem(I) + root + person and number stem + tensemood stem(II)

So, if there's a first tensemood stem it goes at beginning. Right after the root of verb there's a person and number stem inserted, and eventually after that second tensemood stem comes.

[edit] Person and Number conjugation

Verb can conjugate for every pronoun. They conjugate for Effective Subject, this is any subjects(shared or nonshared), after applying all AND's for subjects.

[edit] Indirect Imperative

As you see, Kиipƒi makes possible constructing imperatives for 1st person and 3rd. These are called Indirect Imperatives. Since executing imperative for 3rd person requires someone to inform it, it's called indirect and can be translated as eg. 'Make him/her/it to do something' etc. Imperative for 1st person is a weird thing, but can be useful when writing monologues.

[edit] Tensemood-irregular conjugation

Tensmoode-irregular conjugation exists for tensemood, stems for person and number are constant. That means if some verb have different forms for tensemoods, even the (II) tensemood stem, stem for person and number comes between root and (II) tensemood stem, and should be noted like this - natert--ie, where -- is the place for person and number stem.

Tensemood-irregular conjugation can also have some tenses regular, eg. verb can conjugate irregularly for past and perfect tense, but not for future and imperative. A Vowelshift occurs oftenly.
