subject is marked with the m- set, and the verb form here assumes a 3rd person singular direct object: Notes ¹ The imperfective screeve of class 1 verbs always takes the strong suffixal nominal marker -i ² The present subjunctive screeve of class 1 verbs always takes the weak suffixal nominal marker -e ³ Class 1 verbs which take the weak suffixal nominal marker in the aorist screeve, take the -o- nominal marker in the optative screeve, and verbs which take the strong suffixal nominal marker in the aorist screeve, take the -a- nominal marker in the optative screeve.
‡ The pluperfect and the perfect subjunctive screeves of class 1 verbs always employ the -e- versioner.
Present subseries The thematic suffix -eb is present, without the preverb: Future subseries The preverb da- emerges: Aorist series The preverb is present; the thematic suffix is lost: Perfective series Formation comprises the past participle (da-(v)-bad-eb-ul-i), followed by a form of the copula: Full conjugation follows: Verb root თამაშ, tamaš; infinite form თამაშობა, tamašoba (to play) Present subseries The thematic suffix -ob is present: Future subseries A type of preverb i- emerges, in combination with the thematic suffix -eb which replaces -ob (or any thematic suffix): Aorist series Based on the future form with prefix, but with the loss of the thematic suffix: Perfect series There is no preverb or thematic suffix; subjects are marked in the same way as in class 1 (i.e. with the m- set and appropriate formant vowels).
N.B in this series, for some unknown reason, all screeves allow an optional -n- directly after the stem.
Note the ending of the 2nd and 3rd person plural (subject) marker -t takes precedence over the 3rd person singular (object) marker -s: Future subseries Here the verb forms its screeves by using a pre-radical vowel e-, and the thematic suffix -eb, in a way similar to the class 2 verbs (but without the preverb): Aorist series Since the verb does not have an aorist form, and uses the imperfect instead (like many other class 4 verbs), the aorist forms of šegiq̇vardeba 'you'll fall in love with X' are substituted: Perfect series This series is not especially consistent: the perfect screeve uses versionisers before the root, whereas the pluperfect and perfect subjunctive screeves take no versioniser.
