This template is used for displaying Pali verb headword with its gender. Additionally, it also puts the word into "Category:Pali verbs in ... script".

Parameters

|1= (optional)

Root of the verb

|2= (optional)

Class of the verb, using the 7-class scheme of Moggallāna

|tr= (optional)

Transliteration. It is only needed for non-Roman script forms for which it is not implicitly given by {{pi-sc}} on the definition line. To display the default transliteration, use |tr=+.

|id= (optional)

Sense id for the root; see {{l}} and {{m}}.

Verb Classes

Verb classes categorise the material beyond the root by which the verb stem for the present tense is formed. The seven classes are:

Class	Sample root	Lemma from sample root	Description
1	bhū	bhavati	The stem may be formed by any combination (includinɡ none) of reduplication, guṇation, and suffixation of -a or -ccha.
2	rudh	rundhati	The stem is formed by inserting a nasal in the root and suffixinɡ a vowel.
3	div	dibbati	-ya is suffixed to the root. The 'y' is usually assimilated, so gemination may be the only sign of it.
4	su	suṇoti/suṇāti	-no/-nu/-nā is added if the root ends in a vowel, -uno/-unu/-unā if it ends in a consonant.
5	ki	kiṇāti	-nā is added to the root.
6	tan	tanoti	The active stem is formed by suffixing -o, and the middle stem by suffixing -u. The root may be ɡuṇated.
7	cur	coreti/corayati	-aya or -e is suffixed to the stem. In most forms, these to are alternatives. The root may be lengthened.

Guṇation differs from lengthening in that it does not convert /a/ to /ā/. As can be seen, these classes offer opportunities for obscurantism: gāyati (“to sing”) can be treated as class 3 from gā or as class 1 from ge.
