Simple present, like "parleor" (it is said),
"puiyneor" (they fought), "feaoieor" (it's done).
-eor is typically an impersonal ending; in some
verbs, and apparently in the irregular gener
family, it still has some passive force. I don't
think it has active forms at all (one reason why
it's irregular), except perhaps for the
participle; as it really just means "be born",
not "bear, give birth to". I don't know what the
latter is yet, and the former really is poetic.
For what it's worth, its past participle is
"nathes", which we find in neonathes (neonate),
arnathes (highborn) and similar. Presumably,
*nasser is either extinct or I haven't learnt
what it does yet.
Padraic.
