*÷: if the root ends in a consonant, remove it.
*¹: if the root ends in a consonant, remove both it and the vowel before it, except in monosyllabic words, in which case the suffix goes after the consonant.
*²: if the root ends with the suffix's first consonant, the suffix is applied in its totality, without removing consonants.
