28 of the imperative has also a special termination, viz. om, as kallom, 'let us call;' but beyond these differences, which, moreover, refer to the written language only, there is no exception to the rule that the first person of either number indicates the termination of the other persons of the tense or mood, and on this account we shall only give the first persons in the following conjugations.

The Second Conjugation takes de or te in the imperf. indic., d or t in the perfect past participle, and t in the supine.

Examples of these two classes:—

The Third Conjugation takes dde in the imperfect indicative, dd in the past participle, and tt in the supine. The infinitive does not take the terminal a, and the present participle takes ende.
