This language uses a VSO sentence structure (Indirect Object before Direct Object).
Tense and Mood
Verbs use ablaut to conjugate for 2 tenses within 3 moods. Verbs fall under different categories, which dictate how they change. A verb's category depends on which vowel it has in its stressed syllable.
The two tenses are Present and Future. The three moods are Indicative, Subjunctive, and Optative.
Category 1 verbs
/i/ in coda. Example: Ris (to sing)
Present, Indicative - Ris
Present, Subjunctive - Rais
Present, Optative - Reis
Future, Indicative - Rus
Future, Subjunctive - Ros
Future, Optative - Rois
Category 2 verbs
/e v/ in coda. Example: Fvŋ (to play, as a game), Peŋk (to shine, as the sun)
Present, Indicative - Fvŋ, Peŋk
Present, Subjunctive - Faŋ, Paŋk
Present, Optative - Feŋ, Pvŋk
Future, Indicative - Fuŋ, Puŋk
Future, Subjunctive - Foŋ, Poŋk
Future, Optative - Foiŋ, Poiŋk
Category 3 verbs
/u o/ in coda. Example: Krun (to sleep), Rop (to laugh)
Present, Indicative - Krun, Rop

Present, Optative - Krem, Rep
Future, Indicative - Krin, Rip

Category 4 verbs
/a oi ei ai/ in coda. Example: Traf (to run), Frains (to flow, as a river)
Present, Indicative - Traf, Frains
Present, Subjunctive - Trvf, Frvns
Present, Optative - Tref, Frens
Future, Indicative - Truf, Fruns
Future, Subjunctive - Trof, Frons
Future, Optative - Trif, Frins
Past Tense
Rather than use conjugation to indicate past tense, Kranheiŋ will use the present form of "to do" plus the past participle of the verb used.
There are, of course, exceptions, but this accounts for the majority of verbs.
Other Notes
Gnomic Aspects:
These verbs take the same form as a future indicative verb, but break up the diphthong into two vowels (Example: Peink -> Pe'ink). In the case of a category 1 verb, it follows the same process with the past optative form.
Passive voice is formed by changing the sentence to SOV format.
