Transitive Animate (TA) verbs are verbs that have an object and this object is animate. (All verbs with an object of any kind also have an animate subject). Examples of TA verbs include ''gesalul'' 'I love you' and ''nemi'g'' 'I see him/her'. TA verbs have 36 possible combinations of subject and object, of which 8 involve the [[Obviation|obviative]]. The 28 combinations that do not involve the obviative are shown in the table below.

Transitive Animate (TA) verbs are verbs that have an animate object. (All verbs with an object of any kind have an animate subject by default). Examples of TA verbs include gesalul, 'I love you' and nemi'g, 'I see him/her'. TA verbs have 36 possible combinations of subject and object, of which 8 involve the obviative. The 28 combinations that do not involve the obviative are shown in the tables below. Those that do can be found on another page.

The first table shows the endings for the present indicative of the TA verbs, and the second shows the negative endings for the present indicative.

Please note that in all tables, there is a box marked "REFL", which indicates that this form is a reflexive. It will be covered elsewhere.

↓subject / object→ 1 13 12 2 2PL 3 3PL

† Note: The notation (V)'g means that, if the stem ends in a vowel, this vowel will be lengthened (if the stem ends in a consonant, the vowel will be a schwa). If there is no V, it means that the end vowel of the stem is dropped during conjugation.
