Coulson talks about primary endings and secondary endings.
The primary endings are the endings of the /laT and other Tit tenses.
The secondary endings are the endings of the /laG and other Git tenses.
In the /pANinIya, the flat /laT endings (primary) are considered "basic endings", I mean, they appear directly in the tiptasjhisipth... list, while the flat /laG endings are made from the /laT using some rules —
primary secondary
/laT /laG
/tip → /t'''
/tas → /tAm'''
/jhi → /ant'''
/sip → /s'''
/thas → /tam'''
/tha → /ta'''
/mip → /am'''
/vas → /va'''
/mas → /ma'''
