More interestingly, Wendlandish has kept a series of motion verbs derived by prefixed forms of Latin īre (plus ''sufrir'' derived by an analogically created form *superīre). These may be said to have their own conjugation, and are defined by a non-umlauted stem (used in the infinitive, participles, present 1SG and synthetic past 1SG, 3SG, and 1PL) and an umlauted stem (in all other forms). Here is the conjugation of ''aðir'' [aˈðiːɐ] (< adīre) "to come" as example:
