The MGA, despite its hundreds of choices, does not seem to have an inflection feature for Infinitive - or for many other verb inflections I need with the languages I work on. 

Maybe I’m just thinking in the wrong way. Maybe my way of analysing the verb is not how other linguists think. Perhaps there are alternative ways of analysing the verb. But according to the way I understand the structure of the verb in Ouldeme and Vame, the MGA lacks a whole lot of subcategories for the verb. I've attached a file here showing the affixes I don't know how to categorise in MGA. 

Am I just looking at this from the wrong angle? I'm hesitant to start adding custom features to the list.

Thanks for any help.
