@Jan.Kamenicek: padat gives padnout as its perfective counterpart. Does it mean it has both padnout and spadnout? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 12:49, 26 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

By the way, it looks like -nout is a perfective suffix, related to Russian -нуть (-nutʹ). Do you confirm? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 12:53, 26 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Sometimes there are no unequivocal counterparts, but morphologically the imperfective counterpart of spadnout is spadat, so I changed it in the entry.
Yes, it is true that verbs with the ending -nout are perfective, such as padnout (stem pad + -nout). However, not every -nout in the end of a verb is an ending, be careful about words like plynout (plyn + -out); such words can sometimes be imperfective as well. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 13:28, 26 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
