The paradigms of the future system, finite and participial, are perfectly parallel to those of the Class-6 present system (future~present; conditional~imperfect), as they both incorporate an unaccented stem (of the thematic conjugation).

The accent of the periphrastic future is retained even in independent clauses. Normally a uniform paradigm is used for both active and otherwise middle verbs. The 3rd-person forms are m.nom of the verb's agent noun, and the rest are compounds of m.nom.sg of the verb's agent noun and the present of √as.

The periphrastic future stem (◍), unaccented, is formed with the full grade root (𝔽) + iṬ. The same stem is used in forming the infinitive ◍tum and the tavya-participle ◍tavya.
