===Present of "i-verbs"=== | |||
There are some verbs, not too many, actually, that insert a tonic '''i''' between the root and the endings in the present and in the imperfect: because of this they are called ''i-verbs''. | |||
Two important verbs of this kind are '''ethyn''', "to eat", and '''lyn''', "to free, to release": | |||
