'''Example: *''hanizi'' "to sing"''' | Strong verbs can be put into classes depending on how the past stem is formed: | ||
#'''Class 1:''' The past stem is formed with the vowel ''-ē-'' - e.g. ''*'''dah'''jō'' "I do" > ''*'''dēh'''ai'' "I did". | |||
#<b>Class 2:</b> The past stem is formed by adding ''-s-'' - e.g. ''*<b>þrag</b>ō'' "I drag" > ''*<b>þrahs</b>ai'' "I dragged" | |||
<!-- | |||
#'''Class 3:''' The past stem is identical to the present stem - e.g. ''*'''fip'''ō'' "I drink" > ''*'''fip'''ai'' "I drank"--> | |||
#'''Class 3:''' The past stem is formed by reduplication of the first consonant followed by ''-e-'' - e.g. ''*'''han'''ō'' "I sing" > ''*'''hegan'''ai'' "I sang" (note: ''*hegan-'' is underlyingly ''*hehan-'') | |||
Verbs in all of these classes may or may not have a ''j''-suffix in the present tense. Such verbs are said to be ''j''-presents, and may be light or heavy. This affects the present tense suffixes in much the same way as it does in nouns and adjectives. | |||
