The verb system of Heefahoshaj is divided upon a realis/ irrealis
basis, with aspect being the secondary indicator.
Such as this:
________|perfective_|_imperfective|
irrealis|subjunctive|future_______|
realis__|past_______|present______|
The person is indicated by suffixes, which occur in seperate forms
rarely, mainly for the coupula and emphasis.
There are four persons, and two number divisions (singular and plural)
Both the subject and object are indicated when possible, but if the
object is either a full noun or a person's name, the object is not
indicated.
Manner is also indicated, though this is indicated through "echoing"
a strange pattern that seems to be unique to Heefahoshaj. The
infinitive of the verb contains a structure after the "true root"
that is -?V in nature, where V is the first vowel of the root.
The manners that are indicated are voluntary, involuntary, reflexive
(to one's self), mutual (to each other) and conditional
(if...then...). Manners may stack.
The division voluntary/involuntary is the main one, with a plosive
(when representing no other manner, or, in their linguistic
terms, 'clear' it is ?) representing voluntary, and fricatives
(when 'clear' h). Other manners are indicateded by POA. If mutual,
bilabial or labiodental, if reflexive alvolear, if conditional,
velar. In the case of velar, for fricative one uses a post-alvolear
fricative.
