Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 191c191,198

There are not many of these verbs, and don't tend to be be commonly used.

Almost all the verbs in this group have infinitives ending in 'eta'. There are not many verbs which fall into this category of their 'own right', and these don't tend to be be commonly used. However, it is a reasonably common route for turning adjectives into verbs (for example 'kylmä' -> 'cold', 'kylmetä' -> 'to get cold' The stem for this group is formed by removing the 'ta' then adding 'ne' with the additional change that the final consonant of the stem is in its strong form: 'rohjeta' -> 'to dare' ::'rohkenen' -> 'I dare' ::'rohkenet' -> 'you dare' ::'rohkenee' -> 'he/she/it dares' etc. 'paeta' -> 'to escape', 'pakenen' -> 'I escape 'kylmetä' -> 'to get cold', 'kylmenen' -> 'I get cold'
