Active participle
The active participle displays a present and a past form, both simple. It is marked by the infinitival ending. It is formed by placing the active participial ending, while the past form is also formed through the augment, qa-:
| present | |||||
| past |
There are, however, a sizeable amount of irregular verbs in each conjugation for the active participle. Irregularities are essentially caused by the alteration of the final root consonant (often by dropping the semivowel -j- and palatalizing the preceding consonant) and by the augment in the past form. Such irregularities are clearly shown in the dictionary. Among these verbs the conjugation of some verbs, with non-specifical irregularities, is shown:
