Usage notes

• Sometimes -ít is attached to a stem that is not used alone, only with a family of suffixes.
• Sometimes it can alternate with -ajt/-ejt and/or -aszt/-eszt, e.g. szakít ~ szakajt ~ szakaszt, taszít ~ taszajt, verít(ék) ~ verejt(ék), veszít ~ veszejt (the latter pair with slightly different meanings). In other cases, only the -ajt/-ejt and/or -aszt/-eszt form exists, e.g. szalajt ~ szalaszt, hullajt, zülleszt.
