==== Anomalous verbs ====
Some verbs, however, fall into this category. Dozens of them have irregular stems with a final mid vowel, but obscured on the infinitive ({{wikt-lang|tt|уку}} – ук'''ы''', ук'''ый''', {{wikt-lang|tt|төзү}} – төз'''е''', төз'''и'''). The verbs кору "to build", тану "to disclaim", ташу "to spill" have contrastive meanings with verbs with their final vowelled counterparts, meaning "to dry", "to know", "to carry".

The verb {{wikt-lang|tt|дию}} "to say" is significantly more irregular than any other verbs: its 2nd person singular imperative is диген, while its expected regular form is repurposed as the present tense forms (дим, диң, ди...).<ref name="Burbiel" />
