In the two plural numbers, and in the third G. Ed. p. 732. person singular of the preterite, laikau has lost the syllable wo of the eyo, which, in the second conjugation, corresponds to the Sanskrit aya, and, in the first and second person singular, it has lost the &: it uses iau for eyau, and iei for h/ei.

Thus, in Lithuanian, a part of the corresponding eyo, iyo, &c., is transferred to the general tenses and the other formations of the word. Of hjo, the $ remains; of iyo, i; and of oya, uya, 6: the third conjugation, however, uses y (=i); e.g. future pen-4-su, da-wad-i-su, wai-6-su, laik-y-su. FORMATION OF THE TENSES. G. Ed. p. 733.
