The Verb System in Moten
Moten has a unique verb system influenced by Basque, where all verbs have infinitive and participle forms. Only two verbs, atom (to be) and agam (to have), have finite forms. Other verbs form their conjugations using these two verbs and their non-finite forms. The choice of auxiliary and the case of the infinitive/participle forms determine the mood, aspect, and voice of the verb. This system allows for flexibility and avoids a complex verbal morphology.
