The paradigms shown here illustrate the possible inflection class disinctions and patterns of subject person syncretism. This represents just a small slice of the TAM system, as given by Larsen (1977: 11) (where 1st person singular forms are taken as representative).
Some verbs display stem alternations; unfortunately, Larsen does not describe their paradigmatic distribution.
