Like adjectives, verbs are
derived from a noun counterpart. Again, some nouns exist only to be
formed into verbs. In the case of a few nouns, the verb form is not
directly related to the meaning of the verb itself. See the
glossary for an alphabetical list of
Syriculaen nouns and their verb forms.
Conjugation and Tenses
There are seven tenses in Syriculaen. Additional “suggestive” endings
can also be attached, a unique feature of the language. Conjugation
depends on person, tense, and number.

Reflexives
To make a verb reflexive simply place the appropriate
reflexive pronoun before that verb. Because these pronouns always make
a verb reflexive, they are never used to replace a noun (like they can
in some other languages). The subject of the sentence can be
replaced with a pronoun, but not any of the following ones (see the
Pronouns section).
