II. Conditional.
| eŭ aṣĭ fi vĕḍut, ‘I should have seen.’ | eŭ aṣĭ fi creḍut, ‘I should have believed.’ |
| eŭ aṣĭ fitu aĭ vĕḍut„ | eŭ aṣĭ fitu aĭ creḍut„ |
| eŭ aṣĭ fiel ar vĕḍut„ | eŭ aṣĭ fiel ar creḍut„ |
| eŭ aṣĭ finoĭ am vĕḍut„ | eŭ aṣĭ finoĭ am creḍut„ |
| eŭ aṣĭ fivoĭ aṭĭ vĕḍut„ | eŭ aṣĭ fivoĭ aṭĭ creḍut„ |

Infinitive.
| Present. | Past. |
| a vede or vedere, ‘to see.’ | a fi vĕḍut, ‘to have seen.’ |
| a crede, credere, ‘to believe.’ | a fi creḍut, ‘to have believed.’ |
It is well to note the accented syllable of the second form of the infinitive present. As we said before, this second form is used as a noun. Its intonation depends on the former infinitive, from which it is derived.
Participles.
| Present. | Past. |
| vĕḍĕnd, ‘seeing.’ | vĕḍut, ‘seen.’ |
| creḍĕnd, ‘believing.’ | creḍut, ‘believed.’ |
As we remarked before, the past participle of some verbs belonging to this class will not end in ut, but will consist of the root with the final consonant changed to s:
| a merge, | ‘to go;’ | past participle, | mers, |
| a duce, | ‘to bring;’ | past participle„ | dus, |
| a pune, | ‘to put;’ | past participle„ | pus. |
etc. | |||
The simple perfect is made by adding eĭ to the past participle.
