Re: Silindion - Present Tense

A small addendum:

1) Another exception to the thematic rule: root vowel
= thematic vowel, is the following verb:

  ask- "to shake hands with X"
  ask-i- "present-thematic"
  askín "he/she shakes hands with X"

2) Some verbs differ in conjugation between High
Silindion and Low Silindion.

  a) thematic verbs can have different thematic
vowels:
     pur- "speak"
     HS.  pur-o-
     LS.  pur-u-

  b) athematic verbs can become thematic, and thematic
    verbs can become athematic:

     nal- "light"
    HS. nal-a- (thematic)
    LS. nal-    (athematic)

    nos- "break" ("waves break against the shore")
    HS. nos- (athematic)
    LS. nos-o (thematic)
