Appendix:Old Irish reduplicated s preterite verbs

The reduplicated s preterite is found in weak verbs of class A III. The endings are the same as those of the regular s preterite, except in the third person singular conjunct, which ends in -(a)e in the case of class A III a verbs (McCone's class H1) and in -(a)i in the case of class A III i verbs (McCone's class H2). The reduplicating syllable contains the vowel e, and as with the reduplicated suffixless preterite, the e can merge with a following lenited consonant to become é. No deponent verbs are found in this class. As with other preterites, only active forms are built on this stem; passive forms are built from an old verbal adjective with a different stem. See Category:Old Irish reduplicated s preterite verbs for a list of verbs belonging to this class.
