Verb and Reverb
The way verbs and basic sentences work is being revised. This supercedes the original Kalis verb post.
Argument prefixes (and no, I have no idea what's up with those tables; I can't make them look any better and I have no idea why. I even tried poking at the HTML.) remain the same. A basic verb is still progressive, present, active and indicative. It also assumes that both the subject and the object are in the third person. To make a verb perfective, you lengthen the last vowel of the root: péergol, he is seeing her; péergool, he sees her.
To make a verb past tense, put a low tone on the final vowel; to make it future, put a high tone: péergòl, he was seeing her, péergól, he will be seeing her, péergoòl, he saw her, péergoól, he will see her.
Passive voice still uses the infix -ath-. The various modes still work the same.
Word order is (S)(O)(I)V. If it's clear from the argument prefix what an argument is, you don't need to include it. For example, if you see a sentence Mairi téergool, it is obvious from the argument prefix that Mairi is the subject and some singular male person is the object; hence, there is no need to include an extra pronoun to get a meaning of "Mairi sees him." If some argument is not in the third person, you do need a pronoun: doz for the first and kall for the second. For example, talking to my cat I would say Doz kall téergool, I see you, because I am female and the cat is male (OK, technically I should probably use epicene prefixes for him, but he's got a Y chromosome and that's close enough for me).
I have to think about how this changes relative clauses, if it does, and things like comparitives are still perking.
