Pronunciation
Verb
vat (first-person singular non-past vage, third-person singular non-past vaș, first-person singular past hâlei, rnosei, present adverbial participle rnastivú, past adverbial participle rnatúl, verbal noun hovaș, rnataș)
- (copulative) to be (equivalence)

- (copulative) characteristic predication [with adjective]
- Ú þyriș-age.
- I am German.

Usage notes
- As a predicating verb, it is a phonological enclitic when directly following the predicate, regardless of spelling. This means that vancí vagú (“they are ill”), although primarily stressed as two separate words, constitutes one phonological word, i.e. /ˈvantsiːvaɡuː/, not */vanˈtsiːvaɡuː/).
- This means that it acquires secondary stress on the final syllable [ˈvantsiːvaˌɡuː] for most speakers, which also contributes to modern Radestrian poetics. Compare vagú when it is not an enclitic, which is stressed as /ˈvaɡuː/.
- When introducing a predicate ending in a consonant, the form -at can be used.
- The verb vat does not have a connegative form.
- For negations of vat in all senses, the verb hjeat is used.
- Indicative non-past depersonal forms are only used emphatically. Otherwise, they are elided.
- The verbal noun hovaș tends to refer to identities, whereas rnataș refers to states.
- Past forms in hâl- are the most common.
- Past forms in rnos- are used mainly to imply a contrast between the past and the present.
