=====Conjugation 2===== | =====Conjugation 2===== | ||
Passive verbs derived from lexically causative verbs with the passive affix ''- | 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-'' Note that in dropping environments, either the ''-i-'' or ''-a-'' of ''-isam-'' may be dropped - e.g. ''karisma'' or ''karsama'' "it cooks" (the latter is more common). 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. | ||
