Person

The three different person values are only distinguished in the Present tense singular. Present tense plural has only one verb form for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person. The Past tense has one singular verb form and one plural verb form. The person tags `1', `2' and `3' always appear in a composed Flection Type tag starting with: `te' (present tense singular).
