  • {{{2}}} = "1st", "2nd", "3rd" for the basic conjugation group; "2nd/3rd" if the verb can be conjugated as both a 2nd- and 3rd-conjugation verb; "no" if the verb is very irregular cannot be assigned to any conjugation group; "only-3rd" if the verb is defective and only has third-person forms

If {{{2}}} = "1st":

  • {{{3}}} = first person singular, present tense stem (without the person ending)
