In conjugating a verb, the same euphonic rules are to be observed as has been the case with the nouns. Verbs follow three classes of inflections. To the first class belong all flat-sounding verbs; to the second belong verbs whose vowel, or (if polysyllable) whose last vowel, is e; and to the third class belong verbs with ö or ü in the last syllable. Verbs with neuter vowels (é or í) belong to Class 1 or 2. For further particulars, see the following examples:—

First Conjugation: varni, to sow.
- ↑ For the better understanding of the infinitive with the personal suffix the student may add the verb kellene, "ought," to it; as, lennem kellene, I ought to be, &c.
