Here in example 54(a-f) we see that verbs are inflected for person, number and
honorificity. All number, person, honorificity markers are different to past tense.

In (54a,b) we see -is used for the first person marker of past tense. The same marker
is used for honorificity as well (54c). There is different marker for second person

singular (54d), which agrees with the subject. The agreement marker is - for second

person singular. Likewise in 3 person feminine singular (54f) and 3 person
feminine plural (54e), the agreement markers are not same. It is -for plural

feminine (54e) and -for singular feminine (54f).
