The subjunctive is formed by shifting a verb's base theme vowel, as described by the table to the left.  This shift happens after the stem, but may be either before or after the suffix, depending on whether or not there is a theme vowel before the suffix in the indicative.  So the perfective of '''''aedēs''''' ("they should love it") is '''''aedēvis''''' (from indicative '''''aedāvis''''') but '''''saepiās''''' ("they should cut it") is '''''saepuēs''''' (from indicative '''''saepuis'''''), not **''aedāvēs'' or **''saepēvis''.  Although these forms are occasionally found in non-standard writing, they are considered incorrect my grammaticians.
