The prefix tsa is often used with the Indicative Present tense to give 

 it a Subjunctive or Conditional sense. 



In some Verbs the 3rd Person Singular of the Present Indicative is 

 irregular in its form : 



Examples. 



Singular. 



1. didh-am I enter. 



2. didh thou enterest. 



Singular. 



1. vor-am... I bring. 



2. vor thou bringest. 



8. vm-d he brings. 



Plural. 



1. vor-an . , . . we bring. 



2. vor-id ......... ye bring. 



8. vor-in ......... they bring. 



3. dedb> d he enters. 



Plural. 



1. didfo-an we enter. 



2. didh-id ye enter. 



3. didh-in they enter. 



Singular. 



1. zdn-am. I kill. 



2. zdn thou killest. 



3. zm-d ......... he kills. 



Plural. 



1. zdn-an... we kill. 



2. zdn-id ye kill. 



3. zan-in they kill.

3. kakh-^ he makes. 



Plural.

Some Verbs have a distinct Perfect form [not derived according to rule 

 from the Past Form].
