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====
====Stem 1====
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.
**(''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 generally dropped only if that will lead to no consonant changes - e.g. ''yikatabúun'' "they write" (not ''*yikadbúun'').
<!--
:e.g. ''sabar'' "he broke" + ''-ag'' "you (object)" → ''sabrag'' "he broke you" (not *''sabarag'')
:e.g. ''sabar'' "he broke" + ''-ag'' "you (object)" → ''sabrag'' "he broke you" (not *''sabarag'')
::BUT ''baddal'' "he changed" + ''-ag'' → ''baddalag'' "he changed you" (*''baddlag'' violates phonotactics).
::BUT ''baddal'' "he changed" + ''-ag'' → ''baddalag'' "he changed you" (*''baddlag'' violates phonotactics).
-->
*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'').
*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 ''FáCLi'' if the cluster ''CL'' is not forbidden. If it is forbidden, the infinitive takes the form ''FáCaL''.
*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''.
('''Note:''' The tones in the perfect and imperfect will most likely be removed, but I'm leaving them here for now in case I decide to keep them)
*In the second person plural imperfect, sandhi applies to ''-k-''.

**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 ''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'')-->.

**w:
***''(a)wa'' becomes ''aw'' - e.g. ''cafawd'' "she forgave" (from ''*cafwad'').
***''(a)wa(w)'' becomes ''aw'' - e.g. ''cafawd'' "she forgave" (from ''*cafwad'').
***''iw'' becomes ''uu'' (and makes preceding ''i'' into ''u'') - e.g. ''cufuu'' "pray" (from ''*cifiw'').
***''(a)way'' becomes ''oy'' - e.g. ''cafoy'' "I forgave" (from ''*cafway'').
***The gerundive takes the base ''FaCuw-'' (''FaCuu-'' before a consonant).
***Final ''iw'' becomes ''u'' (''uu'' before a consonant) and makes preceding ''i'' into ''u'' - e.g. ''cufu'' "forgive" (from ''*cifiw'').
*Normal sandhi rules apply - e.g. ''sallaygu'' "I prayed" (from ''*sallay-ku'').
***''wu(u)'' becomes ''u(u)'' after a consonant - e.g. ''yacafúun'' "they forgive" (from ''*yicafwúun'').
*For quinquiliteral verbs, replace ''C'' with ''CaCC''/''CiCC'' (with the vowel corresponding to the bracketed one) - e.g. ''dhamastar'', ''yidhamastar'', ''yidhimistír'' "complete". If one of the consonants is ''w'' or ''y'', the aforementioned simplifications apply and the unnecessary ''a''/''i'' is not added - e.g. ''targoon'', ''yitargoon'', ''yuturguún'' "translate" (from ''*taragwam'', ''*yitaragwam'', ''*yitirigwim''). In forms where no simplifications can take place, however, the extra vowel is added - e.g. ''tar<b>a</b>gwaámi'' "translator".
***''awu(u)'' becomes ''ow'' - e.g. ''yiqandhówn'' "they get a fever" (from ''*yiqandhawúun'').
***''iwuu'' becomes ''uu''  e.g. ''ay ticfúun'' "do not forgive ''(pl.)''" (from ''*ticfiwúun'')
<!--
***The gerundive takes the base ''FaCúw-'' (''FaCúu-'' before a consonant).-->
**Ø:
***''aØ(a)/Øa'' becomes ''aa'' - e.g. ''nashaad'' "she took/lifted" (from ''*nashaØad'').
***Final ''iØ'' becomes ''i'' (''ii'' before a consonant) - e.g. ''níshi'' "take/lift" (from ''*níshiØ'').
***''Øu(u)'' becomes ''u(u)'' after a consonant - e.g. ''yinashúun'' "they take/lift" (from ''*yinashØúun'').
***''aØu(u)'' becomes ''ow'' - e.g. ''yooddówn'' "they finish" (from ''*yiwaddaØúun'')
***''iØuu'' becomes ''uu''  e.g. ''al tinshúun'' "you ''(pl.)'' do not take/lift" (from ''*tinshiØúun'')
<!--
***The gerundive takes the base ''FaCíy-'' (''FaCíi-'' before a consonant).-->
**G: Preceding short vowel assimilates to following vowel.
*Normal sandhi rules apply - e.g. ''sallaygúun'' "you (pl.) prayed" (from ''*sallay-kúun'').
*For quinquiliteral verbs, replace ''C'' with ''CaCC''/''CiCC'' (with the vowel corresponding to the bracketed one) - e.g. ''dhamastar'', ''yidhamastar'', ''yidhimistir'' "complete". If one of the consonants is ''w'' or ''y'', the aforementioned simplifications apply and the unnecessary ''a''/''i'' is not added - e.g. ''targoon'', ''yitargoon'', ''yuturguun'', ''targoomaw'' "translate" (from ''*taragwam'', ''*yitaragwam'', ''*yitirigwim'', ''*taragwamaw''). In forms where no simplifications can take place, however, the extra vowel is added - e.g. ''tar<b>a</b>gwaámi'' "translator".
<!-- Might change this to ''wa/ya'' becoming ''o/e'', ''wi/yi'' becoming ''u/i'', and ''waa/yaa'' becoming ''oo''/''ee'' -->
<!--- Some ideas:
====Stem 2====
*Stem 2 is the mediopassive/autobenefactive stem (Somali ''-o'').
*Formed by adding ''ta-'' to stem 1 in non-prefixed forms and ''-t-'' after the first consonant (due to metathesis) is prefixed forms.
*Can be formed from stem 4 and 5 verbs:
**Stem 4: ''sa-''
**Stem 5: ''asa-''
====Stem 3====
*Mediopassive (equivalent to Somali ''-an'').
*Formed by adding ''na-'' to stem 1 in non-prefixed forms and ''-n-'' after the prefix in prefixed forms.
====Stem 4====
*Causative (Somali ''-i'').
*Formed by adding ''a-'' to the beginning of the stem, forming an extended stem that basically acts like stem 1.
====Stem 5====
*Double causative (Somali ''-sii'').
*Formed with ''as-''.

====Tenses====
=====Simple tenses=====
=====Compound tenses=====
*Present progressive: Imperfect (minus suffixes and with final accent) + Perfect of ''-(ah)alaw'' - e.g. ''yikeéd(ah)alaw'' "he is walking/going".
**This is derived from the defective verb ''halaw'' "he is present".
**''Halaw'' (stem: ''h-l-w'') is conjugated as a perfect verb, but has present meaning. Its past equivalent is ''nabraw'' (stem: ''n-b-r'').
*Past progressive: Imperfect (minus suffixes and with final accent) + Perfect of ''nabraw'' "he was present" - e.g. ''yikeéd nabrúun'' "they were walking/going".
