Abstract
All perfects are formed by attaching the suffixes to the appropriate verbal base. The auxiliary verb ber is extremely common, appearing roughly a hundred and fifty times in the texts. It occurs on its own, as well as with pronominal suffixes. Its Mehri equivalent, bәr, is a particle, and takes the same pronominal suffixes as nouns and other particles. Like ber, ʿͻd is an irregular verb occurring only in the perfect tense that functions almost like a particle. By the term weak verb, the author means any verb whose conjugation differs from that of the basic paradigm because of the presence of one or more particular root consonants that cause or have caused phonetic changes. The verb ʿaәgb 'want; love' is extremely common, appearing approximately 230 times in the texts. Its conjugation is completely anomalous in the perfect tense.Keywords: ʿͻd; auxiliary verb ber; Mehri equivalent; pronominal suffixes; verb ʿaәgb
