====='''Class 1'''=====
====='''Class 1'''=====
Class 1 weak verbs have the following characteristics:
Class 1 weak verbs conjugate similarly to ''j''-present strong verbs in all non-past forms.
 
The past indicative has a connector vowel ''-(i)ja-'', while the past subjunctive and past participle have a connector vowel ''-i/ī-''. In both cases, the suffixes follow Siever's law.
 
====='''Class 2'''=====
Class 2 weak verbs have the following characteristics:
*The present stem ends in ''-ō-'', which contracts with long vowels to ''-ô-'' and with long nasal vowels to ''-ǫ̂''.
*The present stem ends in ''-ō-'', which contracts with long vowels to ''-ô-'' and with long nasal vowels to ''-ǫ̂''.
*The connector vowel in the past (both indicative and subjunctive) and past participle is ''-ō-'', as in the present stem.
*The connector vowel in the past (both indicative and subjunctive) and past participle is ''-ō-'', as in the present stem.
====='''Class 2'''=====
There are two subclasses of class 2 weak verbs.
The first subclass is conjugated similarly to class 1 weak verbs, but with vowels ''-ē-'' and ''-ê-'' instead of ''-ō-'' and ''-ô-'' (except for the 1S present, which has ''-ô-''). Note that ''-ǫ̂'' is not affected. The past participle has the connector vowel ''-a-''.
The second subclass is conjugated similarly to first subclasses, with the following exception: The present sunjunctive and the 1S & 3P present indicative lose the vowel ''-ē/ê-'' and instead conjugate similarly to the corresponding forms of ''j''-present strong verbs (with its light and heavy variants). The past participle has the connector vowel ''-i-''.

Class 4 weak verbs do not have a suffix. Their non-past conjugation follows that of non-''j''-stem strong verbs.
