In order to negate isan, the first vowel of the verb stem is changed to <o>. Thus, ''isan'' turns to ''osan'', ''nak etzkol'' turns to ''nak otzkol'', etc.

A chart that describes all possible affixes that first declension group verbs take is unfeasible, due to the irregularity. As such, this section will not show the forms in the 4-7 other verbs that are a part of the first declension group. Verbs that fall under the first declension group are by far the most tedious to learn for an Azkali learner, due to the widespread irregularity in their forms.

Verbs that fall under the first declension group are by far the most tedious to learn for an Azkali learner, due to the widespread irregularity in their forms. Due to the irregular use of isan/etz/ezatz, some linguists disagree with the classification of isan as having far past, past, and non past indicative forms, instead classifying them as "tenseless".

As the table plainly shows, in third declension group verbs, two unique evolutions have occured: the far past and past tenses have merged, and the future tense of which is present in the other two declension groups only as a dialectal feature is fully present in all third declension group verbs. Not present in conditional verbs of the other two declension groups is the lack of the ''nak'' particle. The soft imperative marker -pua appears to be from the Oikan future imperative marker -bua. Generally, third declension group verbs are somewhat difficult to master, due to moderate amounts of irregularity between those verbs, and the incongruity between forming conditional verbs in the third declension group compared to the other two.

Other notable features of third declension group verbs include the fact that all finite markers involve the  
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'' 'to mature' ⟶ ''heudhu'''mi''''' 'I mature. In addition, the baseform of the verb, in this case ''heudhun'', is interpreted as the infinitive version. While adding a ''te'' particle, of which applies to the other two declension groups occurs, it is fairly uncommon.
