 *'''Past participle:''' This is most often preserved from Latin. Verbs with irregular past stems often use the same stem in the past participle (with the standard ''-t'' ending) but this is not always the case, and some verbs with regular past stems may have irregular past participles. In such cases, regular and irregular past participle forms often coexist.
 ====Personal endings====
+Personal endings are added to the present and past stems. These stems are obtained from the 1S forms by removing the final ''-i'' if present. Note that if the 1S present does not end in ''-i'', the present stem is identical to the 1S present.

+'''Note:'''
+¹ Schwa ''-(e)-'' may be inserted before personal endings in the present tense depending on phonetics but never after vowels. It does not appear in the past tense since the past stem always ends in a vowel. Conversely, ''-i'' in the first person only appears after vowels (and therefore always appears in the past tense).
