All of these terms are to an extent ad hoc. For instance the passive stem is only used to form deverbal nominals; there is no true passive construction syntactically. Some verbs are inherently stative or active and do not have two distinct stems. The active or stative stems are the ones that are generally prone to being somewhat unpredictable, whereas the other three are formed productively. | All of these terms are to an extent ad hoc.

====Derived stems==== | |||
Derivational suffixes can be used to extend the root and create a new set of stems, such as the frequentative ''-(d)s-'' and the potential ''-dãã-''. | |||
