at-ending Present Participle

NOTE: Present participles also end with 'at', but are declined somewhat differently from the standard case shown on the previous page. We show below the declensions for a present participle derived from the class 1 Parasmaipada verb 'bhU:1P:to be'. The verb class and other categorizations (for e.g., causative, etc.) determine which declension rules must be applied for the present participle.
