plomip
The verb plomip "to pray, to request for" is a syncopating verb:
plomip | Past | Present | Imperative | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Intransitive | 1st person | plompwi | plompwo | plompwub |
2nd person | plompwe | plompwae | plompwi | |
3rd person | plompwel | plompwa | plompwob | |
Transitive | 1st person | plompwebi | plompwabo | plompwubub |
2nd person | plompwebe | plompwabae | plompwubi | |
3rd person | plompwebel | plompwaba | plompwubob |
Note that this verb is a doublet of plommip, which has no significant difference in meaning. Plommip is regular because there are no sound changes which could have created an -mmp- cluster in the middle of a word. Thus
- Pawiapop plompwabo.
and
- Pawiapop plommipwabo.
both mean
- "I'm praying for a boat."
pobbia
Below is the conjugation for pobbia "to lactate":
pobbia | Past | Present | Imperative | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Intransitive | 1st person | pobbwi | pobbwo | pobbwub |
2nd person | pobbwe | pobbwae | pobbwi | |
3rd person | pobbwel | pobbwa | pobbwob | |
Transitive | 1st person | pobbwebi | pobbwabo | pobbwubub |
2nd person | pobbwebe | pobbwabae | pobbwubi | |
3rd person | pobbwebel | pobbwaba | pobbwubob |
The rarely used transitive form of this verb was analogized from an earlier form producing *pobbwiwebi and so on. Note that this is not a reflexive verb.
pys
The verb pys "to find" is an irregular stem-changing verb:
pu | Past | Present | Imperative | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Intransitive | 1st person | pwi | pwo | pwub |
2nd person | pwe | pwae | pwi | |
3rd person | pwel | pwa | pwob | |
Transitive | 1st person | pwebi | pwabo | pwubub |
2nd person | pwebe | pwabae | pwubi | |
3rd person | pwebel | pwaba | pwubob |

Below is the conjugation of sopa "to answer, respond appropriately":[1]
sopa | Past | Present | Imperative | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Intransitive | 1st person | sopi | sopo | sopub |
2nd person | sope | sopae | sopi | |
3rd person | sopel | sopa | sopob | |
Transitive | 1st person | sopebi | sopabo | soppub |
2nd person | sopebe | sopabae | soppi | |
3rd person | sopebel | sopaba | soppob |
Thus, for most of the table, sopa is a "hyper-regular" verb, meaning that it disobeys even the consonant mutation rules that the regular nouns follow. But in the transitive imperative, it becomes irregular in the sense that it is one of the very few verbs in which the normally reliable -b- that appears in transitive verbs has changed to -p-. This is under the influence of a previously existing -f-.
sys
The verb sys "to sleep" is an irregular stem-changing verb:
sys | Past | Present | Imperative | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Intransitive | 1st person | swi | swo | swub |
2nd person | swe | swae | swi | |
3rd person | swel | swa | swob | |
Transitive | 1st person | swebi | swabo | swubub |
2nd person | swebe | swabae | swubi | |
3rd person | swebel | swaba | swubob |
For the most part, the multitude of verbs ending in -sis such as besis "to sleep like a baby" and pipsis "to sleep in a tree" behave regularly and thus do not rhyme with the simple standalone verb for sleep. However, ad hoc coinages do exist, particularly for words in which the first morpheme in the compound has not been affected by sound changes. Poswobs thus can choose between
- Beswi!
- I slept like a baby!
Using the normal verb for sleep, or
- Besiši!
- I slept like a baby!
Treating it like a normal -s verb.

Notes
- ↑ This is actually an error ... sopo, etc should be soffo, unless it was regularized during the change of pf>ff and then later underwent pf>p.
