    Note

    An irregular form: the expected haves, still found in Middle English beside has, haes and hafs, lost its v and settled as has. Hath, with the -th ending, is its counterpart in older English. It does double duty: it is a main verb of possession (the latter has a seta four cells across) and the auxiliary of the present perfect, paired with a past participle (the Revolution has influenced later movements).
