§29. SPECIAL IRREGULAR FORMS

Irregularities of more special kinds are mentioned in the dictionary. For instance, стоять "to stand," стою, стоит optionally draws back the stress in the prger стоя; ехать "to be riding," еду, едет, and all its compounds lack an imv form; this is supplied from -езжать (used in compounds only): поезжай "drive"; уехать "to depart," уеду, уедет, but imv уезжай. When the dictionary cites irregular forms between slanted lines, this means that the regular forms are also used.
