3rd inflection form ③
4th inflection form ④
5th inflection form ⑤
6th inflection form ⑥
7th inflection form ⑦
calling form ⓪

feminine 🚺
neuter 🚻
all genders ⚧
singular ⨀
plural ⨂
dual ⨁

attanopada (reflexive) 🔵
present ▶️
future ⏭
near past (aorist) ⏮
permission or supposition (optative) ⏯
command or wish (imperative) ⏹
conditional 🔀
past before today (imperfect) ↩️
unwitnessed past (perfect) 🔄

There are two versions of the dictionary available for download: GoldenDict and MDict. The latest version of the dictionaries can be found here.
