The suffix conjugation is the most common and productive verb class. It can be divided into 5 conjugation groups:
#Conjugation 1: Root verbs
#Conjugation 1: Root verbs
#Conjugation 2: ''-am-'' (passive) verbs
#Conjugation 2: ''-(a)m-'' (passive) verbs
#Conjugation 3 (A, B, C): ''-ish-'' (causative) verbs
#Conjugation 3 (A, B, C): ''-ish-'' (causative) verbs
#Conjugation 4 (A, B, C): ''-at-'' (middle) verbs
#Conjugation 4 (A, B, C): ''-at-'' (middle) verbs
#Conjugation 5 (A, B): ''-p-'' verbs
#Conjugation 5 (A, B): ''-p-'' verbs
*'''Note:''' affixes can be combined, even if they are not explicitly demonstrated below. Only the most common ones are shown, but other combinations are possible - 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-''.

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''-.

=====Conjugation 2=====
=====Conjugation 2=====
Passive verbs derived from lexically causative verbs with the passive affix ''-am-''. When derived from a Conjugation 3 verb, the ''-sh-'' becomes a ''-s-'', giving the combined affix ''-isam-''. There are two competing paradigms for Conjugation 2 verbs: the first treats them as a Conjugation 1 verb, with the ''-am'' affix behaving as a part of the stem, while the second is a hybrid of Conjugations 1 and 4.
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.


e.g. ''xirmi'' "to close (<small>INTR</small>), get closed" (stem: ''xir-am-'')
