1. Verbs of the First Conjugation are formed directly from Root stems, and maintain this form throughout the entire Conjugation.
NOTE. They are probably the remains of the oldest type of verb conjugation, in which there were neither suffixes nor endings to combine, but only the accent and the vowel degrees to differentiate between tenses, aspects and moods.
2. The Present is formed with root vowel e and root accent, as in leiqe/o or leiqe/o, while the Imperfect is formed with root vowel Ø and accent on the theme vowel, as in liqe/liqo, when that is possible.
Verb: bhero, carry (cf. eng. bear)

NOTE. Europaio verbs should be referred to by the first person singular Present and its conjugation type, so that it can be known wether they are thematic or not, and how they should be conjugated. If they are irregular verbs, however, they should be referred to with the first person singular Present, Imperfect, Perfect and Future.
3. The Present is formed with the Present stem and primary endings. The Subjunctive, with lengthened theme vowel and secondary endings.
