About this verb#

  • Prefixed perfective from казать ('show') with до- (completive 'all the way'). Class 6c shows з → ж mutation throughout the future (докажу, докажешь, докажут) and shifting c-stress. Passive participle доказанный with stem stress and the generalized з → з (not the expected ж, a historical anomaly). Government: доказать что кому.
