As explained above in the [[#Phonology|phonology section]], verbal stems tend to group in (C)VCC and participial stems in (C)V(C)C; nominative/ergative stems tend to be CVCVC, and oblique nominal stems CCVC if allowed by phonotactics (which I will have to elaborate on in a new post as a supplement to the first post on phonology). Unstressed epenthetics are inserted where needed, giving possible ^VCC(C/V) instead of expected CC(C/V), or CVCVC instead of expected CCVC.

=====Adverbial form=====
See (cf., e.g., [[#Copula|copula]]).
The adverbial form of a verb has a couple of meanings:
*as a simple adverb
*following a noun in the [[#Nominative/ergative|nominative]] it functions as an [[#Adjectives|adjective]]
*following a noun in the [[#Instrumental/comitative|instrumental]] it functions like a Latin [[:w:Ablative absolute|ablative absolute]].
 
For more cf. [[#Copula|copula]].
