This post will start to describe the verbs in Montreiano. I dont have
them all, so what I dont have will come later.
Verbal endings:
In Montreiano, verbs end in -al, -el, -il. In what I will call Old and
Middle Montreiano, verbs all ended in -ar, -er, -ir, as they do in Spanish
and Portuguese. The change to l reflects a later sound change that
affected final r.
amal - to love
comel - to eat
viuil - to live
Present Indicative - Present Indicatiuo
Very little difference from Spanish or Portuguese at all.
al el il
1sg. amo como viuo
2sg. amas comes viues
3sg. ama come viue
1pl. amamos comemos viuimos
2pl. amais comeis viuís
3pl. aman comen viuen
Imperfect Indicative - Imperfecto Deu Indicatiuo
al el il
1sg. amaua comía viuía
2sg. amauas comías viuías
3sg. amaua comía viuía
1pl. amauamos comíamos viuiamos
2pl. amauais comíais viuíais
3pl. amauan comían viuían
Past Simple Indicative - Perfecto Simple Deu Indicatiuo
These developed similar to Portuguese. The 2sg. form shows the trend for
the drop of /e/ after dentals or alveolars (which wasn't regular within
the verbs ending in -e)
al el il
1sg. amei comí viuí
2sg. amast comist viuist
3sg. amau comeu viueu
1pl. amamos comimos viuimos
2pl. amasteis comisteis viuisteis
3pl. amaron comèron viuèron
Future Indicative - Futuro Deu Indicatiuo
Since these conjugations happened before the change of final r - l, they
escaped becoming forms like "amalé".
al el il
1sg. amaré comeré viuiré
2sg. amarás comerás viuirás
3sg. amará comerá viuirá
1pl. amaremos comeremos viuiremos
2pl. amareis comereis viuireis
3pl. amarán comerán viuirán
That's it for now. Sleep calls....
