Re: first verbs, and already irregular!

Congratulate me, for I have ventured into verbs!

  CONGRADULATIONS!! :)

Once I got going, it got easier. Canotaea uses a verb structure similar to Spanish, so:

 Does the "verb structure similar to spanish" mean that it's basically an
inflecting language in regards to verbs? Since it looks like to behaves like
Latin, or Russian or any of the other heavily inflected languages I know.

-nd = infinitive stem

-me = 1st pers. sing. pres.
-te = 2nd pers. sing pres.
-se = 3rd pers. sing. pres.
-mese = 1st pers. plural pres.
-tese = 2nd pers. plural pres.
-these = 3rd pers. plural pres.

 Why not -sese for the 3rd pers. plural (if it's analogous to the other
persons, which might not be the case).

(A little primitive, I know.) Canotaea only has 2 verbs at present: ond (to be)
and iwynd (to love). It turns out that iwynd loses the y (pronounced /I/) when
conjugated: aet iweme (I love you). That makes it an irregular verb, right?

aet = you?
And also, it looks like y > e and is not lost. This feature *could* be irregular,
but then again, if you had a class of verbs whose the infinitive was -ynd which
formed the present as -e+personal endings, then it wouldn't be irregular :)
Either way, I like it.

Very exited by all this, must keep going.

 Very excited also!! please do keep going :)
