Asha'ille Verbs

All verbs end with a V, with three exceptions. Esv and jhorv drop their final V's when used (that is, the V now only exists in its dictionary form). The "third" exception is actually the group of verbs that end with -illev: they may drop that ending entirely.

Suffix Ordering

Suffixes higher on the list bind "tighter," or closer, to the verb.

1. nominalizer: -on
2. tenses, moods: -d- , -p-, , -op- -yi-
3. causatives: -t-
4. ability: -j- , -k-
5. objects: -l-
6. reflexives: -ad

Note to self: Where does -th- belong in the list?

Causatives

Causatives are shown via -t-, where the conjugation bound to the verb refers to the causee, while the optional subject refers to the causer. The caused action is generally understood to be against the causee's will. However, context dictates whether the causee is really being forced to do something, or whether the causer is more of a catalyst for the action.

The subject (the causer) is carried on to the next verb as the implicit subject. Even if the same -t--plus-causee information belongs on the following verb, it must be explicitly repeated.

Miscellaneous

General verbs, which in English are formed by using a noun as a verb, are constructed in Asha'ille by making the noun into an adverb that modifies the semantically empty verb ov:
