Roughly, Cénúglot has the same verb tenses as English, comprising of present, past, and future tenses, all of which contain further tenses that are simple, continuous, perfect, or perfect continuous.
The verb lemma is always used as the infinite verb (to eat, to be, to leave, etc.)
Forming Particles
Each verb has three tense particles for present, past, and future. These are formed according to whether the verb lemmas are short or tall.
Short Lemma
Tall Lemma
Present Particle
last letter* of the lemma is changed to á
lemma + á
Past Particle
last letter* of the lemma is changed to é
lemma + é
Future Particle
last letter* of the lemma is changed to ó
lemma + ó
If the lemma ends in two vowels, e.g. éa, then both letters are changed – so, for example, éa would be changed to á for the present particle.
