Other notable features of the third declension group involves how verbs are conjugated. Generally, the final sound of a verb, e.g. the ''n'' in ''heudhun'' will be dropped, and then affixes will be applied. E.g. ''heudhun'' 'mature! (with an imperative meaning)' ⟶ ''heudhu'''mi''''' 'I mature. In addition, the baseform of the verb, in this case ''heudhun'', is interpreted as the hard imperative form of the verb. To conjugate an infinitive form of the verb, one must add the ''te'' particle which exists in the other declension groups to the non past indicative form, of which is expressed by the addition of the same particle to the stem. | Other notable features of the third declension group involves how verbs are conjugated.

In general, conjugation for verbs in the third declension group is somewhat irregular, and requires a moderate amount of memorization of irregular verbs, of which number between 15 to 20. Fortunately however, said irregular verbs are somewhat infrequent, and recent dialectal evolutions have simplified conjugations for this declension group further. | |||
