B. Infinitive
The Infinitives are formed by adding the suffix " tu.m " to the root. If the ending of the root is " a ", it is often changed into " i ".
Examples : -
paca 	+ tu.m 		= pacitu.m	to cook
rakkha 	+ tu.m 		= rakkhitu.m	to protect
daa 		+ tu.m 		= daatu.m	to give
Generally the above suffix is added to the forms the roots assume before the third person plural termination of the present tense*
Examples : -
desenti		desetu.m
ki.nanti		ki.nitu.m
bhu-janti		bhu-jitu.m
su.nanti		su.nitu.m, sotu.m
pesenti		pesetu.m
* This same principle applies to the Indeclinable Past Participles and Present Participles which will be treated later.
