Replace all je followed by a vowel or 'h' with j':

je ([aeiouh].+)
j'$1

And finally split on zeroes, which basically replaces all 0s with newlines:

S`0

After which the result is output implicitly.

F⪪§⪪”...”¶¶⌕er§θ±²¶

A very long compressed string is split into paragraphs, each paragraph representing the endings for a particular verb ending. The appropriate ending is selected depending on the second last letter in the verb. The paragraph is split into lines representing the endings for each tense in turn. The tenses are then looped over.

F⁶

Loop over the three persons and their plurals.

F⎇›№aehiou§θ⁰κ⟦j'⟧⁺⪪§⪪”↶↥ζ⊟pW↔,⦄≡WA→÷⪫$Aⅉ⟦v⎇” 궦 «

Loop over the pronouns for those persons (third person has two genders), but special-casing ["j'"] where necessary.

λ

Print the pronoun.

…θ⁻Lθ²

Print the verb stem.

⭆§⪪ι κ§⁺âèîμ⌕AEIμ

Print the suffix, but translate AEI to âèî as Charcoal can't compress accented letters.

⸿

Start a new line.
