=== Verbs === Anatolian morphology is considerably simpler than other early Indo-European (IE) languages. The verbal system distinguishes only two tenses (present-future and preterite), two voices (active and [[Mediopassive voice|mediopassive]]), and two moods ([[Realis mood|indicative]] and [[Imperative mood|imperative]]), lacking the [[Subjunctive mood|subjunctive]] and [[Optative mood|optative]] moods found in other old IE languages like [[Tocharian languages|Tocharian]], [[Sanskrit]], and Ancient Greek. Anatolian verbs are also typically divided into two conjugations: the {{lang|hit|mi}} conjugation and {{lang|hit|ḫi}} conjugation, named for their first-person singular present indicative suffix in Hittite. While the {{lang|hit|mi}} conjugation has clear cognates outside of Anatolia, the {{lang|hit|ḫi}} conjugation is distinctive and appears to be derived from a reduplicated or intensive form in PIE.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last1=Klein |first1=Jared |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QgA3DwAAQBAJ&pg=252 |title=Handbook of Comparative and Historical Indo-European Linguistics |last2=Joseph |first2=Brian |last3=Fritz |first3=Matthias |date=2017 |publisher=Walter de Gruyter |isbn=9783110393248 |language=en}}</ref>
