LESSON II.—­REGULARS.

“When the word is stript of all the terminations.”—­Dr. Murray’s Hist. of En.  L., i, 319.

[FORMULE.—­Not proper, because the participle stript is terminated in t.  But, according to Observation 2d, on the irregular verbs, stript is regular.  Therefore, this t should be changed to ed; and the final p should be doubled, according to Rule 3d for Spelling:  thus, “When the word is stripped of all the terminations.”]
