About this verb#
- Prefixed perfective from -мен- ('change') with из-. Class 4c, with shifting c-stress: изменю (end-stressed 1sg) → изменишь, изменит, изменят (stem-stressed). Passive participle изменённый with end-stressed -ё-. Two distinct senses based on government: + Acc 'change something' vs + Dat 'betray someone' (the latter from older 'change one's allegiance').
