Present Participle
The present participle consists of the particle ow plus the infinitive or verbal noun. It is used to form the continuous tense. The particle ow causes the hard or the fourth state mutation. The particle ow becomes owth before a vowel (and optionally before h- followed by a vowel). The particle ow/owth changes to orth when followed by a pronoun.
yth esov vy ow tybri I am eating
yth esa an keun ow hartha or yth esa an keun owth hartha the dogs were barking
yma ev orth y brena he is buying it
Past Participle
The past participle is used to form the passive voice with bos (to be). The past participle can also be used as an adjective.
an karr a veu parkyes the car was parked (action)
an karr o parkyes the car was parked (state)
an karr parkyes the parked car
