Abstract
In this paper we, study the morphology of Quechua verbs. In order to program their grammars, we first present the formalization of the agglutination laws of verbal suffixes in the form of NooJ morphological grammars. We isolate and study a class of highly productive bi and tri-suffixed agglutinations of interposed suffixes IPS. The derivations obtained, new atomic linguistic conjugable units ALUc’s opens the way to favorably answer the challenging problem of translation of thousands of French verbs into Quechua, a language that contains less than 1 500 simple verbs.
