VOCABULARY.DETAILS.NOTES
Typically used to mean 'repeat' or 'review'. As an inseparable verb meaning 'repeat', its past participle is 'wiederholt' (no 'ge-'). Formal imperative (Sie) is not provided in the conjugation table because the dataset requires that conjugation values must not include personal pronouns; the formal imperative necessarily includes 'Sie', so that specific form is set to 'not applicable' in metadata.
