 * The Fourth Conjugation.

This conjugation includes all the so-called strong verbs, i.e. verbs whose imperfect indicative tense is formed through some internal change of the radical vowel.

This conjugation is divided into two classes, viz.:

1. Verbs which undergo only one change of vowel, affecting the imperfect indicative; as, gripa, imperfect grep, past part. gripen, supine gripit, 'to grasp.'

2. Verbs which undergo a change of vowel, both in the imperfect indicative and in the perfect participle and supine; as, binda, imperfect band, part. past bunden, supine bundit.

Examples:—
