 and so always  (except  ) and , , &c. (except  in pause).

Moreover, the other participles in ā also follow the analogy of as regards the final syllable (, ; cf., however,   in close connexion; see the analogous cases in ); also  (plur.,  ), ,  , hence in plur. with suff. ; , plur. (with sharpening of the final consonant for, cf. also , plur.  [but in  , according to  an orthographic licence for  from , , ; , ;  ;   f.;  ; even with attenuation of the ă to ĭ, , , , from ),  ,  ,  , inasmuch as they retain the ā of the first syllable, contrary to rule, even when not pretonic, e.g. , ;  ;  , ''constr. st. plur.'' ; also isolated forms according to, and , , , , ,. Cf. finally, (from ṣăwʾăr), ''constr. st.  ff., constr. st. plur.'', &c.

2. (Paradigm b; cf. .) Instead of the original ĭ in such forms as (cf. ), the second syllable more frequently has ĕ, e.g. ; with a closing guttural (according to ; but cf. also  ) forms are found sometimes like, sometimes like ; ''constr. st. without suff.''  (according to ); with a middle guttural  ; cf. .—The same analogy also is followed in the flexion of the other participles which have ē in the final syllable (,, &c.), see further, in , , &c. (but with exceptions, as, ), and ibid. , ;, (,  , plur. ), and ibid. , but here also there are exceptions like ,

3. (Paradigm c: of verbs, differing from Paradigm II, f in the unchangeableness of the vowel of the first syllable.) In  ē in the ''absol. st. is abnormal, and in the constr. st. in (so Opitius, Ginsburg; but Baer ),  (according to Baer, but not the Mantua ed.;   is in the absol. st.''). To this class belong, as regards their formation, the -forms mentioned in, (with suff., e.g.  , which brought thee up), and h.

In a few instances, before a suffix beginning with a consonant, the original ăy of the termination has been contracted to ê, and thus there arise forms which have apparently plural suffixes; as, ; , , , cf. ;, ; defectively  (cf.  ); on the other hand, the examples in , , which were formerly classed with the above, are really plurals. But, ( occurs just before),
