== Conjugation Patterns ==
Silonê verbs do not conjugate for person, using the same form for all subjects (e.g., ''Skêl'' for "I strike," "you strike," "they strike"). They are modified by suffixes and prefixes for tense, aspect, and other nuances, as outlined in [[Silonê Grammar and Syntax]]. Below are the standard conjugation patterns:

* '''Tenses''':
** Present: Base form (e.g., ''Skêl'' – strike/strikes).
** Past: Suffix ''-ad'' (e.g., ''Skêlad'' – struck).
** Future Intent: Suffix ''-thâr'' (e.g., ''Skêlthâr'' – will strike, stronger than auxiliary ''Wil'').

* '''Aspects''':
** Epic Tone: Suffix ''-ak'' for heroic/formal tone (e.g., ''Skêlak'' – I strike, heroic).
** Progressive: Suffix ''-vîsk'' (e.g., ''Skêlvîsk'' – is striking).
** Perfect: Auxiliary ''Hav'' + prefix ''ge-'' (e.g., ''Hav geskêl'' – have struck).
** Habitual: Suffix ''-ârkh'' (e.g., ''Skêlârkh'' – always strike).
** Completed: Suffix ''-vêdh'' (e.g., ''Skêlvêdh'' – just struck).
** Past Participle: Suffix ''-khûnd'' (e.g., ''Skêlkhûnd'' – having been struck).

* '''Modifications''':
** Negation: Prefix ''Nêk-'' (e.g., ''Nêkskêl'' – not strike).
** Causative: Prefix ''Sûl-'' (e.g., ''Sûlêdh'' – make eat).
** Reversal: Prefix ''Nêv-'' (e.g., ''Nêvskêl'' – unstrike/restrain).

== Usage in Context ==
Silonê verbs are versatile, appearing in various word orders to suit narrative needs:
* '''SVO (Default)''': ''Ic skêl vîgskhar.'' (I strike the battle.)
* '''VSO (Command/War)''': ''Skêl thar vîgskhar!'' (Strike they the battle!)
* '''OVS (Poetic)''': ''Âlvskhûlar sûlp sên.'' (The ale drinks she.)
* '''Negation''': ''Nêkskêl khîc sôlvîgar.'' (I, formal, do not strike the battle.)

Verbs often carry cultural weight, reflecting clan values:
* ''Lârv'' (laugh/rejoice) evokes tavern camaraderie.
* ''Prâkh'' (pray/worship) ties to the Pantheon of Sol.
* ''Khrûsk'' (curse) is used in dark oaths, resonating with spiritual consequences.
