Imperium Arch. 01
Before I put anything else in let me just say that this is an archive post for myself, so I have this on the 'net where it (hopefully) won't get deleted and where I can't lose it like I've lost so many other things. I'd post it as a private entry so as to keep down the clutter, but I don't want to risk losing my password and thus losing the post.

Notes to myself:

-I've had to remake the conjugations for the 'at and 'ath verbs; if I find them I'll update.
-Conjugations for 'it are the original.
-List of verbs includes those in Vin. Access db.
-Irr. verb nava'it has no conj., remake.
