==== Infinitive verb forms ====
Infinitive forms of the verb in Hurrian include both nominalised verbs ([[participles]]) and a more conventional [[infinitive]]. The first nominalised participle, the present participle, is characterised by the ending ''-iri'' or ''-ire'', e.g. ''pairi'', "the one building, the builder", ''hapiri'', "the one moving, the nomad". The second nominalised participle, the perfect participle, is formed with the ending ''-aure'', and is only attested once, in Nuzi: ''hušaure'', "the bound one". Another special form is only found in the dialect of Hattusha. It can only be formed from transitive verbs, and it specifies an agent of the first person. Its ending is ''-ilia'', and this participle can undergo Suffixaufnahme.

The infinitive, which can also be found nominalised, is formed with the suffix ''-umme'', e.g. ''fahrumme'', "to be good", "the state/property of being good"
