inflectional paradigms are regular, so you wouldn't need to record them by an
entry in the dictionary. But the simultaneous tense forms are irregular.
There are three paradigms of sim. tense as illustrated for 'hit'. Some verbs,
like 'hit' reduplicate the first CV of the "stem" to express sim. tense. Others
like 'do' reduplicate the first V of the stem, and some like 'call' reduplicate
the first V of the subject agreement inflection.</FONT></o:p></SPAN></P>

to be entered in the dictionary because they are unpredictable. If you have the
policy to do a main entry for every unpredictable inflectional form then you
would have to enter 21 forms for each verb, i.e. the full 3 paradigms. In
practise we just enter the third person singular SS form as a minor entry
cross-referenced to the main entry for *qoc* 'to hit'.</FONT></SPAN></P>
