Conjugation

Incomplete conjugation, mainly used in those 3rd person, infinitive and participle forms which have the so called strong stem (in this case, with "k"). For all others, the forms of raikaa are substituted with corresponding forms of raikua.

In order to get forms of raikaa, simply replace any "u"s with "a"s, keeping in mind the limited usage of raikaa-variant. There are two exceptions: 1) indicative present negative is ei raikaa (not ei raia) and indicative past positive is raikasi (not raikai).
