Seefloth's Paradigm is a verbal inflectional paradigm reconstructed for Uralo-Siberian in 2000.

Evidence

For Northern Samoyedic, the following paradigm can be reconstructed:

  Intransitive Sg. object Du. object Pl. object
1sg. -m -mə -kVj-i-nə -i-nə
2sg. -n(-tə) -rə (< -tə) -kVj-i-tə -i-tə (< -i-t-tə)
3sg. -0 -ta (< -sa) -kVj-i-ta -i-ta (< -i-sa)
1du. -mi-ñ -mi-ñ -kCj-i-ni-ñ -i-ni-ñ
2du. -ti-ñ -ti-ñ -kCj-i-ti-ñ -i-ti-ñ
3du. -kə-ñ -ti-ñ (< -si-ñ) -kVj-i-ti-ñ -i-ti-ñ (< -i-si-ñ)
1pl. -ma-t -ma-t -kVj-i-na-t -i-na-t
2pl. -ta-t -ta-t -kVj-i-ta-t -i-ta-t
3pl. 0-t -to-n (< -so-n) -kVj-i-to-n -i-to-n (< -i-so-n)

A very similar paradigm can be reconstructed for Proto-Eskumo-Aleut:

  Intransitive Sg. object Du. object Pl. object
1sg.
-k-[m]-ka -t-[m]-ka
2sg. -[tk]-ən -n -kə-n -tə-n
3sg. -0 -sa -k -i-sa
1du. -[tk]-mə-k -mə-k -k-mə-k (=sg.)
2du. -[tk]-tə-k -tə-k -k-tə-k (=sg.)
3du. -0-k -sa-k -kə-k -i-sa-k
1pl. -[tk]-mə-t -mə-t -k-mə-t (=sg.)
2pl. -[tk]-tə-t -tə-t -k-tə-t (=sg.)
3pl. -0-t -sa-t -kə-t -i-sa-t
