 Verbs are similarly formed by combining a semantic root with one of
 several patterns.
+Unlike nouns, the patterns for verbs are grouped into several "forms",
+each form consisting of several patterns for different uses of a verb.
+The application of the patterns of a form to a given root are
+considered different variations of the same verb.
+
+Verb forms will be distinguished using a number (e.g. 1st form, 2nd
+form).
+Each form has patterns for the non-past tense stem, the past tense
+stem, the verbal noun, the active participle, and the passive
+participle.
+The verb stems must then be inflected for aspect, mood, aspect, number,
+and person to be used.
+
+The patterns for each verb form are indicated in the following table,
+with information about typical semantics and other properties of the
+forms described after the table.

+* The 1st form refers to the action seen as most directly connected

+  They may be either transitive or intransitive depending on the
+  meaning of the verb, although ditransitive 1st form verbs are rare.
+  The verbal noun is of neuter gender.
+* The 2nd form typically has a meaning related to some action with a
+  lasting effect or impact, although in some cases it is instead an
+  emphatic or more intense version of the root's 1st-form verb.
+  They may be either transitive or intransitive.
