VERB: verb
Description
Verbs in Uralic follow the universal guidelines. The attention needs to be paid to an abundance of deverbal forms, often named infinitives and participles. They will usually not directly 1:1 match the universal features. It is highly recommended to match at least one infinitive to VerbForm=Inf and participle forms for VerbForm=Part with Tense=Past and Tense=Pres, the other deverbal forms should be matched to their universal VerbForm equivalents if possible. The Deverbal verb forms should in any case include the analyses of cases etc. where they are present so a number of distinctions are retained and when required, the traditional grammar can be retained in the XPOS and MISC fields.
