Also, many, many language textbooks present verbs in the third-person
singular. This is because the "stem verb" is so often simplest in this form.
In the case of Klingon, this phenomenon is certainly true. Of course,
Hebrew presents verbs in the third-person, singular, PAST. German and Latin
textbooks which I have seen often give full charts of the present tense 1st,
2nd, 3rd, singular and plural.
Clue: Soon the Grammar Highlight will present a chart of the verb pronominal
suffixes. The first chart will be incomplete, showing only third-person
objects. Eventually, a chart of all the prefixes will appear.
