Basic verbs form the language's roots, notice how "hlawa" ("to speak") has none of these infixes.

Another major aspect of Yeuric grammar is noun incorporation that borders polysyntheticism. Take, for example, the sentence "~~páruhzawyapáeruv‧yel‧kávihzawyatéulnivri~~?", which means "Won't you take my hand and follow my lead?"
