Verbs
A verb is a necessary part of any sentence, except when making copular sentences. Verbs can be categorised on the basis of how many elements compose them.
Stem Verbs
The class of stem verbs is semi-closed — there are only about 100 pure verbs in the entire language. Stem verbs consist of a single element.
Compound Verbs
In order to extend or specify meeaning, verbs can be compounded much as a noun can. Compound verbs are, however, much more common than compound nouns, to make up for the relative lack of stem verbs.
“to tell a story”
“to be happy”
“to be conscious”
