====Other verb forms==== In Polabian, forms such as the [[infinitive]], the active present [[participle]], the passive participle and the [[gerund]] are attested. T. Lehr-Spławiński, based on the fact that most infinitive forms have stress on the penultimate syllable and several other forms have stress on the last syllable, did not exclude the possibility that [[supine]] could have existed in Polabian.{{sfn|Polański|2010|pp=127}} Infinitives are formed with ''-t'': ''voi̯vist'' (“to bring out”), ''vist'' (“to carry”).{{sfn|Lehr-Spławiński|1929|pp=220—225}} Active participles are formed with ''-ąc-'': ''kǫ̇săjącĕ'' (“biting”), ''l'otojącă'' (“flying”).{{sfn|Lehr-Spławiński|1929|pp=217—218}} Passive participles are formed from the verb stem using one of three suffixes: ''-tĕ'' (''-tă''), ''-nĕ'' (-nă), ''-enĕ'' (-enă): ''nopücǫ̇tă'' (“begun”), ''ai̯ḿortĕ'' (“put to death”, “killed”){{sfn|Lehr-Spławiński|1929|pp=226—229}} Gerunds, or verbal nouns, are formed on the basis of the passive participle and extended with ''-ĕ/-ă'' (from *''-ьje''), due to the reduction of the vowel in the ending in an unstressed position, it is not always possible to distinguish between a verbal noun and a passive participle. Most often in texts, the gerund appears in the form of the nominative singular, but forms are also found in other cases, in particular in the dative: ''strai̯zinĕ'' (from the verb “to cut”), ''zomăcenă'' (from the verb “to soak”), ''vecenĕ'' (from the verb “to shout”), ''(kå) voi̯gărnińĕ'' (“to stop”, from the verb “to stop”).{{sfn|Lehr-Spławiński|1929|pp=229—230}}
