 * Strong verbs in the past subjunctive have the final consonant of the stem geminated, unless this consonant is already geminated, is ''r'', ''w'' or ''j'' (which do not geminate) or is ''d'', ''s'', ''t'', ''z'' (which instead become ''z'', ''sz'', ''tz'', ''zsz'' and lose palatalisation).
 * Preterite-present verbs conjugate as a strong past in the present, and as a weak past in the past. The plural present has the same stem as the present participle. They often lack distinct perfective forms.
+====Strong verbs====
+Strong verbs form their past tense and past participle by vowel change (ablaut). There are seven classes of strong verbs, depending on how the stem changes.
