The second strong conjugation comprises verbs whose present system often shows the diphthong iu. The historical evolution of these verbs results in the following conjugation.

As in the first strong conjugation, the difference between Classes IIa and IIb lies solely in the vowel of the past plural and participle stems. This change is also conditioned by the consonant following the vowel. Generally the vowel u occurs, but this is replaced by au when followed by h. Take for example the past plural forms drusum vs. tauhum.
The verb niuta 'enjoy', with prinicpal parts niuta -- náut -- nutum -- nutans, serves to illustrate the forms of the second conjugation. The forms are as follows.
