Pig Latin/Lessons/3: Basic Verbs

Main Concept
NAPL-folk are a skittish people, yet they are blunt, direct, and hate unnecessary complexity. Because of this, a ruffle common in other languages like Spanish, French, et. al., irregulary conjugations are not present in NAPL. Conjugations of NAPL are very standard-- there is only one exception to the standard conjugation, in fact. That's the word "to be" (covered next lesson). To keep ambiguity to a minimum and time spent talking short, conjugations signify both time and actor. The when and the who-done-it, all you'd need to solve a closed-circuit murder-mystery.

The conjugations are as follows:

There are five more conjugations:
 * Hypothetical (if they ran, etc.): -uyu
 * Imperative (run away!,etc.): -ōyu
 * Imperfect (he was/will finishing, etc.): -(past/future conjugation)i
 * Infinitive (referring to an action): -ō

Examples
He runs: unrayi [unrō, minus infinitive (ō), plus tense (a), plus actor (i)] She will run: unriyi [unrō, minus infinitive (ō), plus tense (i), plus actor (i)] They (1) had run: unrāyi [unrō, minus infinitive (ō), plus tense (ā), plus actor (i)] They (2+) was running/used to run: unrāyii [unrō, minus infinitive (ō), plus tense (ā), plus actor (i), plus imperfect (i)] We ran: unrāyo [unrō, minus infinitive (ō), plus tense (ā), plus actor (o)]
