As explained above in the [[#Phonology|phonology section]], verbal stems tend to group in (C)VCC and participial stems in (C)V(C)C; ergative stems tend to be CVCVC, and oblique nominal stems CCVC if allowed by [[#Phonotactics|phonotactics]]. Unstressed epenthetics are inserted where needed, giving possible ^VCC(C/V) instead of expected CC(C/V), or CVCVC instead of expected CCVC.

Here is a presentation of the form and use of the 6 stems in Rówok, using the following two stems as illustration, ''drb-'', "fall", and ''rwk-'', "speech":
| '''{{sc|mwk}}''' || "dog"       || '''mowk-''' || '''mók''' || '''múk''' || '''mówok''' || '''mwok-'''  || '''mukú'''

:''darb-, dŕb, dŕba, dárab, drab-, darbá''

The finite verbal stem is characterized by vowel clusters grouped on the right side of the root's vowel structure.

The vocative stem is perhaps a misnomer, as it is used to form not only the [[#Vocative|vocative]] case, but also the [[#Partitive|partitive]] and [[#Similative|similative]] cases, as well as to form many [[#Compound words|compounds]].

The ergative form is characterized by a fully extended CVCVC or VCVC(V) structure.

The oblique stem is usually monosyllabic, characterized by the grouping of consonant clusters to the left of the word's vowel structure. When [[#Phonotactics|phonotactics]] do not allow for an initial consonant cluster, vowels are added epenthetically either before the initiral vowel in the case of liquids and nasals, but between the first to consonants in the case of all other sounds.
| '''{{sc|zyw}}''' || "belly"  || '''zóyw-''' || '''ziw''' || '''zyó/ziw-''' || '''zóyow''' || '''zyowó-''' || '''ziwú'''
 
|-
The oblique stem is used for the following:
| '''{{sc|lyw}}''' || "double"  || '''lóyw-''' || '''liw''' || '''ólyo/liw-''' || '''lóyow''' || '''olyowó-''' || '''liwú'''
*as the stem of which all the oblique [[#Ratio casuum|cases]] are formed, except the [[#Partitive|partitive]] and [[#Similative|similative]]

The adverbial form has no inflection. It us used in several different ways:

It is used, well, to form finite [[#Verbs|verbs]].
====Participial stem====

It is used  to form the [[#Ergative|ergative]] case.
