OK, onto verbs. Verbs in Proto-Nahtak still feature noun incorporation, but it's Inuktitut-style rather than Algonquian-style, which means that any noun- once stripped of any inflectional morphology, except prenouns which may stay- can take one of a couple hundred "postbases" which turns it into the object of a transitive verb.

For example, the noun nismā 'potato' can take a verbal postbase -yakʷ- 'eat' to create nismā-yakʷ- 'to eat a potato'. Postbases are recursive: thus -ōθ- 'want' can also be attached to create the stem nismā-yakʷ-ōθ- 'want to eat a potato'. Or a prenoun can be added: šō-nismā-yakʷ-ōθ- 'to want to eat a large potato'.

A verb stem in Proto-Nahtak is considered to be:

- a verbal root, such as toŋ 'drink (smth)', OR

- an incorporative morpheme complex consisting of a noun with at least one postbase and possibly a prenoun, as we've seen above.

Verbal morphology proper can't get inside the verb stem, so for the following verbal templates we will consider it to have one and only one slot. Transitive and intransitive verbs have different templates; when a noun-postbase combination is used with transitive morphology, the noun is usually some sort of oblique argument like an instrumental.

Intransitive Template

[personal prefix]-[verb stem]-["voice"]-[TAM 1]-[personal suffix]-[TAM 2]-(clitics)

Transitive Template

[personal prefix, "primary argument"]-[personal prefix, "secondary argument"]-[verb stem]-["voice"]-[TAM 1]-[number/personal suffix]-[direct/inverse marking]-[TAM 2]-(clitics)

I'd elaborate on this, but it's half past midnight and I have baking to do tomorrow...
