Moreover, the analogical change depicted in (10) shows that, in addition to the two base forms, the third form, traditionally called the "derived form," as shown above in (8), may be a paradigmatically related form, and not necessarily a form derived from base form 1.

However, as regards verbs, infinitives are not the only forms that can serve as base forms in an analogical proportion. One could argue that the first person singular, too, is considered by speakers to be a basic form of the verbal paradigm and therefore may serve as a base form of an analogical equation.

Etymology
Base-forming is made of base and forming. Base means 'a chemical opposite of acid' and forming means 'making', so base-forming describes a substance that makes a base when it dissolves in water.
