Lesson 7.1: Present Tense Irregular Verbs
editAs with all languages there are some verbs which are irregular. This page will have a list of some of the common verbs which are irregular in the present tense. The first three examples look very close to regular verbs but with a few letters missing, I think this is where there used to be an additional γ in the verb which got lost, so some vowels had to go to make it still readable, but I'm still looking for a source for that. The final verb we will later see looks very familiar to a different class of regular verbs.
