Verb
esan (present participle esaten, future participle esango, infinitive esan, verbal noun esate)

Usage notes
The synthetic conjugation is entirely unrelated etymologically to the non-finite forms. Instead, it uses a stem -io- to conjugate synthetically. However, some of the synthetic forms are archaic, so more often periphrastic will be used instead. For example, instead of
the periphrastic form
is more commonly used.
Conjugation
