===Ablaut alternations===

Chlouvānem morphology uses a system of ablaut alternations in its vowels, most notably for some verbs, for the ablauting declension of nouns (5h), and for many derivations. Every normal ablaut pattern has a base grade (the one given in citation forms), a middle grade, and a strong grade.<br/>

The patterns of regular ablaut are the following:

* ''i-ablaut'': base '''i''' or '''ī''' — middle '''e''' — strong '''ai'''

* ''u-ablaut'': '''u'''/'''ū''' — '''o''' — '''au'''

** ''u>i-ablaut'': '''u'''/'''ū''' — '''i''' — '''au'''

* ''ṛ-ablaut'': '''ṛ''' — '''ar''' — '''ār'''

A few roots have the so-called ''inverse ablaut'', where the vowels get simplified in the middle grade, and there is no strong grade:

* ''i-type inverse ablaut'': base '''ya''' (or '''ьa''') — middle '''i'''

** ''ei-type inverse ablaut'': base '''ei''' — middle '''i'''

* ''u-type inverse ablaut'': base '''va''' — middle '''u'''
