Additionally, there is an impersonal subject pronoun ''sow'' used to form the pseudopassive, and a reflexive object pronoun ''nis'' used to form the reflexive and reciprocal.
''Nis'' can also be used emphatically, in which case it takes possessive suffixes - e.g. ''niskayga'' "myself".

Stem 1 is the base form of a verb. The citation form is the 3rd person singular masculine perfect.
Stem 1 is the base form of a verb. <!--The citation form is the 3rd person singular masculine perfect.-->
*''FCL'' is used as the generic verb (with ''qadal'' "kill" as the example verb).
*''F-C-L'' is used as the generic verb stem (with ''qadal'' "kill" as the example verb).
**''F'': first root consonant
**''F'': first root consonant
**''C'': second root consonant (for geminated or quadriliteral verbs, this represents the middle two consonants)
**''C'': second root consonant (for geminated or quadriliteral verbs, this represents the middle two consonants)
**''L'': third root consonant
**''L'': third root consonant
**(''vowel''): vowel that is usually dropped unless it violates phonotactics. Sometimes unpredictable.
**(''vowel''): vowel that is usually dropped unless it violates phonotactics. Sometimes unpredictable.
*Before a suffix beginning in a vowel, the ''a'' in ''-aL'' in the perfect and imperfect is dropped (if applicable and allowed). This is represented with square brackets (i.e. ''[a]'').
<!--
*The ''(a/i)'' after ''F'' is dropped if possible, even if phonotactics require the ''F'' to be changed - e.g. ''katab'' "he wrote", ''ay tigtib'' "do not write". On the other hand, the ''(a/i)'' or ''[a]'' after ''C'' is dropped only if that will lead to no consonant changes - e.g. ''yikatabuu'' "they write" (not ''*yikadbuu'').

-->
*If the vowel in the bracket has an acute accent, that means it takes the accent if it is present, otherwise the preceding vowel (indicated with a grave accent) takes the accent.
*Some verbs have ''aa'' after the first root consonant instead of ''a'' - e.g. ''baarag'' "bless". In this case, it is never dropped. Any high tones that would apply to ''a'' are applied to the second ''a'' of ''aa'' (i.e. ''aá'').

*The infinitive takes the form ''FáCL(i)'' if the cluster ''CL'' is not forbidden (with the ''-i'' inserted if ''C'' is not ''y'' or ''w''). If it is forbidden, the infinitive takes the form ''FáCaL''.

There are various modifications depending on the root consonants:
There are various modifications depending on the root consonants:
*If ''F'' is:-
*If ''F'' is:-
**w: ''i'' becomes ''u'' before ''w'', with ''iw'' becoming ''uu'' - e.g. ''yuwadad'' "he loves" (from ''*yiwadad'').
**w:  
**y: ''iy'' becomes ''ii'' - e.g. ''al tiibas'' "she/it does not dry" (from ''*tiybas'').
***''i'' becomes ''u'' before ''w'', with ''uw'' becoming ''uu'' before a consonant. If the following syllable has the vowel ''i'', it also becomes ''u'' - e.g. ''al yuudud'' "he does not love" (from ''*yiwdid'').
**'/Ø: ''i'' is dropped - e.g. ''yaaman'' "he believes" (from ''*yi(')aaman'').
***The sequence ''uwa'' is further simplified to ''oo'' - e.g. ''yoodad'' "he loves" (from ''*yuwadad'' < ''*yiwadad'').
**y:  
***''iy'' becomes ''ii'' before a consonant - e.g. ''al tiibis'' "she/it does not dry" (from ''*tiybis'').  
***The sequence ''iya'' is simplified to ''ee'' - e.g. ''teebas'' "she/it dries" (from ''*tiyabas'').
**Ø: preceding ''i'' becomes ''a'' in the imperfect and lengthened in the subjunctive/jussive - e.g. ''yaahal'' "it is enough" (from ''*yiØahal''), ''ay yiíhal'' "let it not be enough" (from *''yíØhal'').
**A guttural letter (''G'': ', h, c, x): when intervocalic, a preceding short vowel assimilates to following vowel - e.g. ''yaxamal'' "he carries" (from ''*yixamal'')<!--, ''ay tácraf'' "don't rest" (from ''tícraf'')-->.
*If ''C'' is:-
*If ''C'' is:-
**y, yC, or Cy:
***''ay(a)/ya'' becomes ''ee'' - e.g. ''keedaw'' "he walked/went" (from ''*kaydaw'').
***''yi(i)'' becomes ''ii'' - e.g. ''al tikiid'' "you do not walk/go" (from ''*tikyid'').
<!--***''ayii'' becomes ''ey'' - e.g. ''kéydaw'' "him walking/going" (from ''*kayíidaw'').-->
**w, wC, or Cw:  
**w, wC, or Cw:  
***''aw(a)/wa'' becomes ''oo'' - e.g. ''koon'' "he was/became" (from ''*kawan'').
***''aw(a)/wa'' becomes ''oo'' - e.g. ''koonaw'' "he was/became" (from ''*kawnaw'').
***''wi'' becomes ''uu'' (and makes preceding ''i'' into ''u'') - e.g. ''ay tukuun'' "do not become" (from ''*tikwin'').
***''wi(i)'' becomes ''uu'' (and makes preceding ''i'' into ''u'') - e.g. ''al tukuun'' "she does not become" (from ''*tikwin'').
