  11. ▶ Strong verbs have front mutation in all singular present indicative forms ▶ All verbs except class 2 weak have front mutation in the preterite subjunctive

  12. ▶ This class had a thematic i/j , yielding mutated forms everywhere except in the preterite indicative and past participle

  13. ▶ With long stems, this class underwent front mutation throughout the paradigm.

  14. ▶ This class had a thematic i that was e at the time front mutation was active; hence only the preterite subjunctive was affected (because of subjunctive -i ).
