Verbs are given in the singular masculine imperative.

#{{note|not}}Beja handles negation through distinct negative polarity conjugation. There is no lexical "not."
#{{note|liiliit}} In some dialects {{lang|bej-Latn|liiliit}} means "pupil."
#{{note|ragad}} {{lang|bej-Latn|Ragad}} refers to the foot and leg.
#{{note|m'aa}} This is a rare [[suppletion|suppletive]] imperative. Other forms of the verb have no {{IPA|/m/}} and are constructed around a consonantal root {{IPA|/j/}}.
#{{note|sootaay}} {{lang|bej-Latn|Sootaay}} covers the [[Blue–green distinction in language|blue-green range]].
