e, utrumque, _each of two;_
utercumque, utracumque, utrumcumque, _whoever of two;_
uterlibet, utralibet, utrumlibet, _either one you please;_
utervis, utravis, utrumvis, _either one you please;_
alteruter, alterutra, alterutrum, _the one or the other_.
In these, uter alone is declined. The rest of the word remains unchanged,
except in case of alteruter, which may decline both parts; as,--
_Nom._ alteruter altera utra alterum utrum
_Gen._ alterius utrius, etc.

CHAPTER II.--_Conjugation._
93. A Verb is a word which asserts something; as, est, _he is_; amat, _he
loves_. The Inflection of Verbs is called Conjugation.
94. Verbs have Voice, Mood, Tense, Number, and Person:--
1. Two Voices,--Active and Passive.
2. Three Moods,--Indicative, Subjunctive, Imperative.
3. Six Tenses,--
Present, Perfect,
Imperfect, Pluperfect,
Future, Future
Perfect.
But the Subjunctive lacks the Future and Future Perfect; while the
Imperative employs only the Present and Future.
4. Two Numbers,--Singular and Plural.
5. Three Persons,--First, Second, and Third.
95. These make up the so-called _Finite Verb_. Besides this, we have the
following Noun and Adjective Forms:--
1. Noun Forms,--Infinitive, Gerund, and Supine.
2. Adjective Forms,--Participles (including the Gerundive).
96. The Personal Endings of the Verb are,--
Active. Passive.
_Sing_. 1. -o; -m; -i (Perf. Ind.); -r.
2. -s; -sti (Perf Ind.); -ris, -re;
-to or wanting (Impv.); -re, -tor (Impv.).
3. -t; -to (Impv.); -tur; -tor (Impv.).
_Plu_. 1. -mus; -mur.
2. -tis; -stis (Perf. Ind.); -mini.
-te, -tote (Impv.);
3. -nt; -erunt (Perf Ind.); -ntur; -ntor (Impv.).
-nto (Impv.);
VERB STEMS.
97. Conjugation consists in appending certain endings to the Stem. We
distinguish three different stems in a fully inflected verb,--
I. Present Stem, from which are formed--
1. Present, Imperfect, and Future Indicative,
2. Present and Imperfect Subjunctive,
3. The Imperative,
4. The Present Infinitive,
- (Active and Passive.)
5. The Present Active Participle, the Gerund, and Gerundive.
