obtained by adding tf (gf) (ge) J[ (gi) (gif.) or

root; as, ^ I sliall speak, *j she shall speak,

To such roots, however, as end in T (a) }\ (o) ^j\ (e) or

every future termination beginning with ^\ (e); so, from T
come, may be formed T and as well as IgjT and ^JL,T

in ^j] (e) or }\ (o) may admit of contraction in this tense,
by either dropping the final letters of the roots or rejecting
