==Reconstructions==
It is uncertain when this paradigm formed; but most scholars consider it a Mordvinic innovation. While it is theoretically possible that it is of Proto-Uralic vintage, and [[Seefloth's Paradigm]] constitutes a version of it which has lost the category of object person, the absence of any trace of that category in the definite conjugations of other Uralic languages renders this unlikely.

The Mordvinic languages sport a system of multipersonal verbal agreement, operating separate from the common Uralic subject agreement conjugation.

Of the two forms listed per slot, the upper is the present, the lower the preterite.
