Usage notes[edit]

The verb has two roots in second and third series: The new one, where the thematic suffix is petrified: -შობ- (-šob-), whence შობა (šoba) and უშობია (ušobia), and the slightly dated one, where the thematic suffix is, as usual, deleted: -შვ- (-šv-), whence შვა (šva) and უშვია (ušvia).
