How many tense/mood/voice/aspect/number/person forms can a regular Maggel
verb exhibit?
My conlangs tend to be nice in this regard. Tairezan, Kalini Sapak and
Yargish can sport respectively threeish, nine and six verb finite verb
forms. All steadfastly refuse to indicate person and number on verbs, altho'
Kalini Sapak's verbs inflect for gender (agreeing with the subject).
However, I'm likely to introduce more verb forms in Kalini Sapak - a passive
(or two!) and an imperative stand high on the probability list.
