*'''Note:''' | *'''Note:''' Affixes can be combined - e.g. ''cunsiismid'' "to be made to eat" (stem: ''cun-siish-am-''). When any derivational affix is added to ''-ish-'' (or derivatives such as ''-siish-''), the ''-sh-'' always becomes ''-s-''. Affixes combine in the order -''oo/aa''- + -''p''- + -''(si)ish''- + -''at/o''- + -''(a)m''-. | ||

Passive verbs derived from lexically causative verbs with the passive affix ''- | Passive verbs derived from lexically causative verbs with the passive affix ''-(a)m-''. When derived from a Conjugation 3 verb, the ''-sh-'' becomes a ''-s-'', giving the combined affix ''-is(a)m-''. When derived from a Conjugation 4 verb, the combined affix of ''-at-'' + ''-(a)m-'' is ''-am-'' (where the ''-a-'' is NOT dropped). There are two competing paradigms for Conjugation 2 verbs: the first treats them as a Conjugation 1 verb, with the ''-(a)m'' affix behaving as a part of the stem, while the second is a hybrid of Conjugations 1 and 4. | ||
