Montreiano Verbs I



This post will start to describe the verbs in Montreiano.  I dont have
them all, so what I dont have will come later.

Verbal endings:

In Montreiano, verbs end in -al, -el, -il. In what I will call Old and
Middle Montreiano, verbs all ended in -ar, -er, -ir, as they do in Spanish
and Portuguese. The change to l reflects a later sound change that
affected final r.

amal - to love
comel - to eat
viuil - to live

Present Indicative - Present Indicatiuo

Very little difference from Spanish or Portuguese at all.  

	al			el			il
1sg. amo			como		viuo
2sg. amas		comes		viues
3sg. ama			come		viue
1pl.  amamos		comemos		viuimos
2pl.  amais		comeis		viuís
3pl.  aman		comen		viuen

Imperfect Indicative - Imperfecto Deu Indicatiuo

	al			el			il
1sg. amaua		comía		viuía
2sg. amauas		comías		viuías
3sg. amaua		comía		viuía
1pl.  amauamos	comíamos	viuiamos
2pl.  amauais		comíais		viuíais
3pl.  amauan		comían		viuían

Past Simple Indicative - Perfecto Simple Deu Indicatiuo

These developed similar to Portuguese. The 2sg. form shows the trend for
the drop of /e/ after dentals or alveolars (which wasn't regular within
the verbs ending in -e)

	al			el			il
1sg. amei		comí		viuí
2sg. amast		comist		viuist
3sg. amau		comeu		viueu
1pl.  amamos		comimos		viuimos
2pl.  amasteis		comisteis		viuisteis
3pl.  amaron		comèron		viuèron

Future Indicative - Futuro Deu Indicatiuo

Since these conjugations happened before the change of final r - l, they
escaped becoming forms like "amalé".

	al			el			il
1sg. amaré		comeré		viuiré
2sg. amarás		comerás		viuirás
3sg. amará		comerá		viuirá
1pl.  amaremos	comeremos	viuiremos
2pl.  amareis		comereis		viuireis
3pl.  amarán		comerán		viuirán


That's it for now. Sleep calls....
