			CHAPTER XIII VERBS § 28O. In the parent Indg. language the verbs were divided into two great classes : athematic and thematic. In the athematic verbs the personal endings were added to the bare root which had the strong grade form of ablaut in the singular, but the weak grade in the dual and plural. Thus, for example, the singular and plural of the verbs for 'to be' and ' to go' were: *6s-mi, *es-si, *6s-ti, *s-mēs or *s-mos, *s-tē, *s-6nti; *6i-mi, *ei-si, *ēi-ti, *i-mes or *l-mos, *i-te, *j-enti. Verbs of this class are often called mi-verbs because the first person singular ends in -mi. The Germanic languages have only preserved a few traces of the mi-conjugation (§§ 341-3). Nearly all the verbal forms, which originally belonged to this class, passed over into the ō-conjugation in the prim. Germanic period. In the thematic verbs the stem-vowel, which could be either of the strong or weak grade of ablaut, remained unchanged throughout the present; in the former case
