B. Conjugations
In Paa.li there are seven conjugations. They differ according to their respective conjugational signs (Vikara.na) which are added on to the roots before the terminations.
There is no definite rule to indicate to which class of conjugation the roots belong. 
The conjugations are as follows :-
Class		Conj. sign		Pres. 3rd
1st paca -to cook	a			pac + a + ti = pacati
						bhuu + a + ti = bhav + a + ti = bhavati

2nd rudhi -to hinder	.m......a
(In this conjugation too the conjugational sign is " a ", but " .m " is argumented before the final consonant of the root and is afterwards changed into the nasal of the group-consonant that follows.
This rule applies only to the active voice.)
						ru-.m-dh + a + ti = rundhati 
	bhuja -to eat				bhu---ja + a + ti = bhu-jati

3rd divu -to shine	ya			div + ya + ti = divyati
							= dibyati = dibbati
	haa -to abandon			haa + ya + ti = haayati

4th su -to hear	.nu, .naa, u.naa		su + .naa + ti = su.naati
					also - 	su + .nu + ti = su.noti
	pa + apa -to arrive			pa + apa + u.naa + ti = paapu.naati

5th ji -to conquer	naa*			ji + naa + ti =jinaati

6th tanu -to spread 	o, yira		tanu + o + ti = tanoti
						kara + o + ti = karoti
						  + yira + ti = kayirati

7th cura -to steal	e, aya			cura + e + ti = coreti
						cura + aya + ti = corayati
* In the conjugation of the root ki, to buy, which belongs to this class naa is changed into .naa; e.g. ki + .naa + ti = ki.naati.

The initial vowel in this class, not followed by a double consonant, undergoes vuddhi substitute, i.e., a, i and u become aa, e, o respectively.
