This paper consists primarily of lists of initial, medial and final verb morphemes in Wôpanâak. There are also lists of special initials and finals that function in different ways. Along with these lists are brief descriptions of the usage of the morphemes and the construction of Wôpanâak verbs. There are some notes on phonology, but an entire section on phonology will be an addition made at a later time. These lists will serve as a resource for the formulation of verbs, both for understanding how verbs are put together, as well as for forming entirely new verbs, or verbs that are likely to exist but that do not have text to verify.
