 All i-verbs are ''e-pattern verbs''.
+===Present of "contracted verbs"===
+Many verbs have got an irregular present: unfortunately it isn't possible to establish some patterns, because the difference can lie in the whichever person when not in all of them. Very often the different endings are the result of vowel contractions that took place in antiquity, thus these verbs are called '''contracted verbs'''.
+Here it is the present tense of the verbs '''leyn''', "to say, to tell", '''düyn''', "to give", '''poin''', "to do, to make", '''acüyn''', "to listen", and '''oran''', "to see":
