We can have ordinary kinds of verbs in Trentish but by far the most usual type should be generic motion or state markers:
- (motion)
- khepwu "move from one place to another"
- khlede "rise, ascend, move upward without effort"
- krrngohnyoh "add to what already exists"
- la "move quickly"
- luphi "climb, move upward with effort"
- ƛohmupu "take away by pieces from what already exists"
- qu "stand up"
- sohpohne "to lead, go along in front of"
- thabal "walk, go by foot"
- (state)
- aphel "have more ends on one side (fringe, bifurcate)"
- küpeqyi "to exist for a long time"
- mena "move back and forth irrationally"
- nohku "be still and silent"
- most generic:
- kwr "be (doing)"
- shano "be (characterized by)"
Stuff like this would if necessary be modified by... other kinds of modifiers.
Also, the incorporable nouns would be a small class like counters: a generic marker standing for a whole class of things. e.g. u as a noun means 'trent' but as an incorporated noun could stand for any kind of person. Have to think about this.
