: Uatakassí verbs have approximately 8064 non-imperative forms.  I'm still
: working out the details of imperatives, so I'm not sure exactly how many
: imperative forms there would be.

That's impressive.

The Nrit verb has only 2202 forms that I'm aware of, including the
imperatives and fully inflected participles.  In five verb classes, no less.
Agony.  (The nouns and modifiers(adjectives and adverbs; is there a better
term?) don't inflect so joyfully; there are only 12 noun forms and 45
modifier forms.  Sigh.)

In case you're curious, I have an (in-progress) website at
http://www.geocities.com/laopooh/nrithome.html, but not all the logic for
that panoply of inflections is listed.
