, are (as just stated) unlike those of the other conjugation.

606. The classes of this conjugation are as follows:

VI. The -class, or unaccented -class (first or -class); the added class-sign is simply; and the root, which has the accent, is (if capable of it) strengthened by  throughout: thus,  भव  from √भू  be; नय  from √नी  lead; बोध  from √बुध्  wake; वद  from √वद्  speak.

VII. The -class, or accented -class (sixth or -class); the added class-sign is, as in the preceding class; but it has the accent, and the unaccented root remains unstrengthened: thus, तुद from √तुद्  thrust; सृज  from √सृज्  let loose; सुव  from √सू  give birth.

VIII. The -class (fourth or -class); is added to the root, which has the accent: thus, दीव्य  from √दिव्  (more properly दीव् : see 765) play; नह्य  from √नह्  bind; क्रुध्य  from √क्रुध्  be angry.

IX. The passive conjugation is also properly a present-system only, having a class-sign which is not extended into the other systems; though it differs markedly from the remaining classes in having a specific meaning, and in being formable in the middle voice from all transitive verbs. Its inflection may therefore best be treated next to that of the -class, with which it is most nearly connected, differing from it as the -class from the -class. It forms its stem, namely, by adding an accented to the root: thus, अद्य  from √अद्  eat; रुध्य  from √रुध्  obstruct; बुध्य  from √बुध्  wake; तुद्य  from √तुद्  thrust.
