Cl. contains the modification of the vowel of the Im-
in the Part, with some exceptions.
Each of these two conjugations is subdivided in three
classes according to the modification of the vowel of the Im-
perfect. There are therefore altogether 9 Conjugations in which
every regular and irregular verb is included.

123. It must be borne in mind, that the indicative and
Conjunctive distinguish the Present and Imperfect, the Impe-
rative is only used in the Present.
The Infinitive and Participle are only single forms, but
they are both declined like nouns.
The Supine is the Participle in n. g.
The Participles end generally in -st, in the oldest lan-
guage in sk (an abbreviation of sik).
