VERBS.
37
Very little use is made of the pluperfect, or of the imperfect, unless in narration.
I. Future.
| eŭ voiŭ ara, ‘I shall plough.’ | noĭ vom ara, |
| tu veĭ ara, | voĭ veṭĭ ara, |
| el va ara, | eĭ vor ara. |
It may be remarked that voiŭ, the auxiliary for the future, is written with ŭ to distinguish it from the personal pronoun voĭ, ‘you.’
II. Future.
| eŭ voiŭ fi arat, ‘I shall have ploughed.’ | noĭ vom fi arat, |
| eŭ voiŭtu veĭ fi arat„ | noĭ vomvoĭ veṭĭ fi arat„ |
| eŭ voiŭel va fi arat„ | noĭ vomeĭ vor fi arat„ |
Imperative.
| ară (tu), ‘plough.’ | araṭĭ (voĭ), |
| are (el), | are (eĭ). |
Subjunctive Present.
| eŭ să ar, ‘I may plough.’ | noĭ să arăm, |
| tu să arĭ, | voĭ să araṭĭ, |
| el să are, | eĭ să are. |
It may be observed here that in the subjunctive the third person singular of verbs belonging to this class ends in e, whereas in those which have the infinitive in e and i, it ends in ĕ.
Subjunctive Past.
| eŭ să fi arat, ‘I may have ploughed.’ | noĭ să fi arat. |
| eŭtu să fi arat„ | noĭvoĭ să fi arat„ |
| eŭel să fi arat„ | noĭeĭ să fi arat„ |
