Is there a reason for mentioning English irregular verbs? Aren't regular ones inflected too? --Eric
- Regular verbs are generally less inflected. I've made that clearer, I think. --AF
- There are big classes of regular inflected verbs in English. These are represented by some of the most common verbs in English:
I-class 1: spin (for some speakers), drink, swim, sing, sink I-class 2: write, ride, smite O-class : blow, throw, grow

I'd also like to point out that the Mohawk word given is not an inflected word, but a polysynthetic word. The terms "inflected" and "synthetic" are still synonyms in the common imagination, but linguistically the two are extremely different. thefamouseccles 09:20 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)
