Editing Hittite language (section)

===Verbs===
The verbal morphology is less complicated than for other early-attested [[Indo-European languages]] like [[Ancient Greek]] and [[Vedic Sanskrit|Vedic]]. Hittite verbs [[inflection|inflect]] according to two general [[grammatical conjugation|conjugations]] (''mi''-conjugation and ''hi''-conjugation), two [[grammatical voice|voices]] ([[Active voice|active]] and [[Mediopassive voice|medio-passive]]), two [[grammatical mood|moods]] ([[indicative mood]] and [[imperative mood|imperative]]), two aspects (perfective and imperfective), and two [[grammatical tense|tenses]] ([[present tense|present]] and [[preterite]]). Verbs have two [[infinitive]] forms, a [[verbal noun]], a [[supine]], and a [[participle]]. Rose (2006) lists 132 ''hi'' verbs and interprets the ''hi''/''mi'' oppositions as vestiges of a system of grammatical voice ("centripetal voice" vs. "centrifugal voice").
