I've finally gotten the revised paradigm done for
spoken Kerno. Here is the regular -ar conjugation.
Comments, harsh criticisms, large cash payments,
etc. welcome. [Note: use a monospaced font so it
all lines up right.]

Verbal noun             parland

There are two compound formations, the 1st with "ir", the
2nd with "aver". The 1st compound tends to convey a sense
of emphasis: iog me parland = I do say, etc.

parlam me               I speak
iog me parland          I do speak
ystam parlant           I am speaking (progressive)

parlafam me             I was saying
monef me parland        I did speak / used to speak
ystafam me parlant      I was saying (prog.)

parlasi me              I spoke
fu me parland           I did say
ystetai me parlant      I was speaking (prog.)

ey me parlu             I have spoken
o me parlu              I had spoken

parlab                  I shall speak
iog ar parlar           I shall speak (cf. voy a hablar)
ystatura parlant        I shall be speaking
ura parlu               I shall have spoken
