 ==== Past participle ====
-The past participle is used mainly to form the past and future tense and is formed by adding -''u̯'' to the infinitive stem. It appears in analytical forms and therefore exists primarily in predicative (although some fossilized forms of non-predicative use exist, for example in ''dobrosli'' 'welcome') and must be preceded by an auxiliary verb. As with all predicative adjectival expressions, it receives ultimate accent unless it contains an old spurious vowel in the final syllable (compare ''reckeu'' [rɛ̌ːkɛʊ̯], ''ċitau'' [dɐʋǎʊ̯]).
+The past participle is used mainly to form the past and future tense and is formed by extending the infinitive stem with -''u̯'' (when stem ends in a vowel) or with -ø (when stem ends in a consonant); compare ''davau'' [dɐʋǎʊ̯], ''rec'' [rɛ̌k].
