====Personal endings==== | ====Personal endings==== | ||
The following personal endings are used in the present tense: | |||
*''-(e)s'' in the third person singular (archaic: ''-(e)th'') | |||
*''-(e)st'' in the archaic second person singular | |||
Besides the above endings, only the highly irregular verb ''at est'' "to be" has differing personal forms. | |||
<!-- | |||
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 form does not end in ''-i'', the corresponding stem is identical to the 1S form. | Personal endings are added to the present and past stems.
