Of Verbs of the Paradigma s. 



Tliere follow some verbs of the simple conjugations.— 

 But it is enough to know how the perfect of each conjugation 

 of the paradigma c/ii, h conjugated, that one may know 

 how a verb of the paradigma s corresponding to such con- 

 jugation is inflected. See the examples in the simple

 of the second person singular in e, as in the paradigma chi 

 in the dual and plural.
