CUAPTEE XII. 



VERBS WITH ROOTS ENDING IN VOWELS. 



§ 165. The roots of both the verbs just conjugated end in consonanti?. 

 When the root ends in a vowel some slight difficulties occur, which require 

 to be noted. I therefore give two examples of such verbs, not conjugating 

 them fully, but giving, of one the first and third persons singular of the non- 

 honorific first form, and of the other a fuller conjugation : noting at the 

 same time any irregularities which may occur in the other forms. 



I shall first give an example of a root ending in a vowel other than =?JT a. 

 These verbs are nearly regular.
