**(''vowel''): vowel that is usually dropped unless it violates phonotactics.

*Before a suffix beginning in a vowel, the ''a'' in ''-aL'' in the perfect and imperfect is dropped (if applicable and allowed). This is represented with square brackets (i.e. ''[a]'').

*The ''(a/i)'' after ''F'' IS dropped if possible, even if phonotactics require the ''F'' to be changed - e.g. ''katab'' "he wrote", ''ay tigtib'' "do not write". On the other hand, the ''(a/i)'' after ''C'' is dropped only if that will lead to no consonant changes - e.g. ''yikatabuu'' "they write" (not ''*yikadbuu'').

*For quinquiliteral verbs, replace ''C'' with ''CaCC''/''CiCC'' (with the vowel corresponding to the bracketed one) - e.g. ''dhamastar'', ''yidhamastar'', ''yidhimistír'' "complete". If one of the consonants is ''w'' or ''y'', the aforementioned simplifications apply and the unnecessary ''a''/''i'' is not added - e.g. ''targoon'', ''yitargoon'', ''yuturguún'' "translate" (from ''*taragwam'', ''*yitaragwam'', ''*yitirigwim''). In forms where no simplifications can take place, however, the extra vowel is added - e.g. ''tar<b>a</b>gwaámi'' "translator".

<!--- Some ideas:
====Stem 2====
*Stem 2 is the mediopassive/autobenefactive stem (Somali ''-o'').
*Formed by adding ''ta-'' to stem 1 in non-prefixed forms and ''-t-'' after the first consonant (due to metathesis) is prefixed forms.
*Can be formed from stem 4 and 5 verbs:
**Stem 4: ''sa-''
**Stem 5: ''asa-''
====Stem 3====
*Mediopassive (equivalent to Somali ''-an'').
*Formed by adding ''na-'' to stem 1 in non-prefixed forms and ''-n-'' after the prefix in prefixed forms.
====Stem 4====
*Causative (Somali ''-i'').
*Formed by adding ''a-'' to the beginning of the stem, forming an extended stem that basically acts like stem 1.
====Stem 5====
*Double causative (Somali ''-sii'').
*Formed with ''as-''.
