*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". | *For quinquiliteral verbs, replace ''C'' with ''CaCC''/''CiCC'' (with the vowel corresponding to the bracketed one) - e.g. ''dhamastar'', ''yidhamastar'', ''yidhimistír'' "complete".

<!--- 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-''. | |||
