			However, due to the fact that inanimate nouns are treated as mass nouns, their plural forms are seldom used. Some nouns use the plural form only to refer specifically to a group of individuals rather than a whole.

	Dhimze verbs follow an [[Wikipedia:Agglutinative language\|agglutinative]] structure, starting from a verb stem and adding on affixes depending on [[Wikipedia:Grammatical tense\|tense]], [[Wikipedia:Grammatical person\|person]], [[Wikipedia:Grammatical number\|number]], [[Wikipedia:Grammatical mood\|mood]], [[Wikipedia:Voice (grammar)\|voice]] and [[Wikipedia:Deixis\|deixis]]. The pattern of affixes is the following: ''deixis-person-<u>stem</u>-voice-mood-tense-number''. Most of the affixes do not feature vowels, and an epenthetic ''i'' is usually added to break up clusters as well as at the end.

	* '''Verbal deixis''' has three levels of distinction:
	** '''stative''', for stationary actions, is unmarked.
	** '''venitive''', for incoming actions, is prefixed with ''m-''.
	** '''andative''', for outgoing actions, is prefixed with ''k-''.
	* There are three '''grammatical persons''':
	** the first person is marked with ''-v-''.
	** the second person is marked with ''-gh-''.
	** the third person is marked with ''-m-'', which becomes ''-n-'' if any of the surrounding consonants are labial.
	* There are only two degrees of grammatical '''voice''': '''active''' (unmarked) and '''passive''' (marked with ''-r-'').
	* There are three grammatical '''moods''':
	** '''indicative''' is unmarked.
	** '''[[Wikipedia:Irrealis mood\|irrealis]]''', for actions not known or certain to happen, events that are hoped or expected, or events that are assumed, is marked with ''-ṙ-''.
	** '''[[Wikipedia:Conditional mood\|conditional]]''', for actions that depend on another condition, is marked with ''-sh-''.
	* There are four '''tenses''', which correspond to certain tense-aspect combinations:
	** the '''present''' tense is marked with ''-kh-''.
	** the '''imperfect''' tense, for ongoing actions in the past, is unmarked.
	** the '''preterite''' tense, for single punctual actions in the past, is marked with ''-v-''.
	** the '''future''' tense is marked with ''-t-''.
	* Finally, the '''plural''' is marked with ''-m-'', which becomes ''-n-'' if any of the surrounding consonants are labial.
	~~All of these affixes combine into an extensive conjugation system, with complex forms such as ''mghrvnrshvin'' "[You] could have come to be spoken", from the stem ''-rvn-'' "to speak".~~
