===Verbs===
===Verbs===
Verbs have absolute and conjunct stems, much like in Old Irish. With a preverb or an ''incorporandum'' (incorporated noun stem), the conjunct form is used.
The process of attaching preverbs such as prepositions to verbs was productive in Proto-Talmic, which then was repurposed for applicatives and for noun incorporation in Old Roshterian [unlike in Thensarian which took a path more akin to IE languages].

The forms came from the following stress pattern:

Handwave: This creates a succession of unstressed syllables in the conjunct form which gets smooshed together in Old Roshterian
Examples:
{| class="bluetable"
|-
! Person  !! ''ṋoṱiəṋ'' "I rest" (independent) !! ''mī-ṋṱiəṋ'' "I do not rest" (dependent)
