The Carpathian language preserves the archaic Proto-Indo-European distinction between athematic and thematic, but athematic verbs were gradually reduced in number. The primary first-person singular endings, athematic ''*-mi'' and thematic ''*-oh₂'', were kept distinct, giving Carpathian subject conjugation ''-mi'' and ''-ū'' respectively. The Proto-Carpathian second-person thematic ending ''*-ēi'' was altered by its athematic counterpart, becoming ''-sei'' in modern Carpathian. | The Carpathian language preserves the archaic Proto-Indo-European distinction between athematic and thematic, but athematic verbs were gradually reduced in number.
