Forms like with empty infinitive come from, which has an alternative conjugation listed of type 6a with -. In this case I'm not sure what infinitive should appear; maybe it should avoid creating these forms at all? Benwing2 (talk) 01:30, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Of course we want there to be non-lemma entries with a link and not at all empty entries. One way would be to combine the forms and show them in one table manually (I don’t know how flexible is in this matter, or for suppletive forms in general), another one to refer the reader to.
 * This says nothing about the glosses and usage notes: I wrote that is chiefly archaic because the -объемл- forms are used while the infinitive and other forms are not. The story about a “defective conjugation” at  is of course wrong. I don’t think this is what “defective conjugation” means. This is a verb fully conjugated just with alternative shapes which belong either to its paradigm or with diachronical considerations to a completely different paradigm as on . “Defective” is when you as a user lack forms, not when a table separated in imagination is incomplete. But you as a user have even synchronically a form for every paradigmatic position there is in Russian. Fay Freak (talk) 01:51, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The easiest thing to do is to make a special irregular verb class for обнимать. Are there other verbs conjugated this way? It's also possible to specify all the forms manually, which is a lot of work. Finally I may be able to modify Module:ru-verb to support adding an additional partial paradigm; currently you can specify two paradigms for a verb but only two full ones.

 * *объима́ть is an impossible spelling. The citation is pre-1917, when there was no rigid and universally accepted set of orthographic rules. This infinitive is spelled обыма́ть, codified as obsolete in modern dictionaries. I think both infinitives (обымать, marked obsolete and обнимать) should have the personal forms of the объемлю-series represented.

Compare also the Russian entry: ru:обымать. Guldrelokk (talk) 03:57, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
