Sure. naxedav = "see"
vxedav = "I see him/her/it/them"
xedav = "Thou seest him/her/it/them."
xedavs = "He/she/it sees him/her/it/them."
vxedavt = "We see him/her/it/them."
xedavt = "Ye see him/her/it/them."
xedaven = "They see him/her/it/them."
To express simply e.g. "I see" with no direct object, you need to
*add* another affix; a sort of grammatical virama. I haven't found
what it is yet, and it may vary by verb class. (The book is not
really organized for reference. :))

Ah, but tlhIngan Hol has no official writing system other than its
Roman transcription, which is also simple... Georgian is at least
aesthetic. :)
