Nouns

Verbs decline for singular and plural number. The plural is generally marked with a suffix, but can also be irregular and unpredictable from the singular form. Verbs fall into one of five classes: air class, water class, fire class, earth class, and magic class. Class is marked by a prefix on the noun (if at all).

Verbs

Verbs conjugate for tense, aspect, polarity, and evidentiality. The tenses are the plain and the habitual tense. The aspects are imperfective and perfective. Verbs have positive or negative polarity. The two evidentiality categories are direct and indirect.
