			The first conjugation is the so-called "dipthong root" conjugation, and is the most regular of conjugations. The root of a verb in this conjugation ends in a diphtong, and produces three stems: root diphtong stem, monophtong stem* and broken stem**. For example, for the table below, to get the forms of the verb "chaer" (to war, to wage war), you replace with chaer [χaɪ˞̯], with char [χa˞] and * with chaoïr [χɶ.i˞].
