In Emnian, verbs take the form of derived stems, and are conjugated to reflect their tense and mood, as well as to agree with their subjects in gender, number, and person. Each verb has an inherent voice, though a verb in one voice typically has counterparts in other voices. This article deals primarily with modern Emnian but the information shown here applies to some extent to Middle Emnian as well.
==Verb classification==
===Roots===
Verbs in Emnian, like nouns, adjectives, and adverbs, are formed and declined by altering a two- to five- (but usually three-) letter stem. Vowels are added between these consonants in a pattern to form a related meaning between different roots. For instance, ''somháir'' "he kept" and ''cotháibh'' both have the same '''C'''o'''C'''(h)ái'''C'''(h) pattern to indicate the third person singular past tense.
Emnian verbs can be further divided into '''strong verbs''' (wholly regular verbs), '''weak verbs''' (verbs with predictable irregularities), and '''irregular verbs''' (wholly irregular verbs).
There are three common types of '''weak verbs''': '''guttural''' (containing  ʾ, Ḥ, or ʿ in any position, H in any position except final, or R as second radical in the historic root), '''hollow''' (containing W or Y anywhere, or H as the final radical in the historic root), or '''repeating''' (ending with two of the same radical).

Note that '''c''' and '''t''' are '''resistant to lenition''' when derived from historic roots '''q''' and '''ṭ'''.
====Guttural weak roots====
Guttural roots contain a historic guttural (ʾ, Ḥ, or ʿ in any position, H in any position except final, or R as second radical). The effect of this is "broadening" — i.e. the replacement of a slender environnment with a broad one.

===Past participle===
Past participles are formed according to the tables shown below. Grammatically, the past participle is an adjective and is inflected for gender and number. Conjugations IV-VII lack past participles. Conjugation I verbs that have a corresponding Conjugation VII verb use the Conjugation I past participle and the Conjugation VII nonpast to indicate different states of completion.
The Conjugation I past participle indicates a completed action:
* ''Is cathuibhimh them an seapharaimh.'' — "The books are written."
The Conjugation VII nonpast, on the other hand, indicates that the action is still being done.
* ''Oiciáithbe an seapharaimh.'' — "The books are (being) written."
