==== Conjugation ==== Conjugation can result in spelling changes which can appear to be random or haphazard. Due to this, Aaron Leitch has expressed doubt as to whether Enochian actually has conjugations.{{sfnp|Leitch|2010b|pp=17β18}} The very scant evidence of Enochian [[verb conjugation]] seems quite reminiscent of English, including the verb 'to be' which is highly irregular.{{sfnp|Laycock|2001|p=43}} Laycock reports that the largest number of forms are recorded for 'be' and for ''goh-'' 'say':{{sfnp|Laycock|2001|p=43}} {{columns-start|width=40em}} ::{| !'to be' |- |''zir, zirdo'' || I am |- |''geh'' || thou art |- |''i'' || he/she/it is |- |''chiis, chis, chiso'' || they are |- |''as, zirop'' || was |- |''zirom'' || were |- |''trian'' || shall be |- |''christeos'' || let there be |- |''bolp'' || be thou! |- |''ipam'' || is not |- |''ipamis'' || cannot be |} {{column}} {| !'to say' |- |''gohus'' || I say |- |''gohe, goho'' || he says |- |''gohia'' || we say |- |''gohol'' || saying |- |''gohon'' || they have spoken |- |''gohulim'' || it is said |} {{columns-end}} Note that ''christeos'' 'let there be' might be from 'Christ', and if so is not part of a conjugation.{{sfnp|Laycock|2001|p=42}} For negation of verbs, two constructions are attested: e.g. ''chis ge'' 'are not' (''chis'' 'they are') and ''ip uran'' 'not see' (''uran'' 'see').{{sfnp|Laycock|2001|p=43}}
