==Causative and perfect stems==
==Perfect stems==
Causative stems are easy to form: they are formed by attaching the stem extension ''-ild-'' (see below) to the infinitive stem; however, ablauting verbs always have the highest grade vowel, while inverse ablaut verbs have the "lowered" vowel in front of the normal stem (e.g. ''miš-'' → ''maiš-ild-'').
 
The perfect stem (used for the perfect and for the intentional future) formed by prefixing the root vowel (shortened, oral, and with the basic root ablaut) to the stem - but note that verb classes 5 to 10 have their own vowel patterns that diverge from this general one. Examples:

* ''laitake'' “to row” = ''lait- → alait-''
* ''laitake'' “to row” = ''lait- → alait-''
* ''leike'' "to stick, press into something" = ''lei- → elei-''
* ''leike'' "to stick, press into something" = ''lei- → elei-''
Causative stems with ablaut have a full reduplication, using the first consonant plus the basic vowel grade, like ''miš- → maiš- → mimaiš-''. The causative interior forms have ''-ildr-'' with a short vowel, unlike for the past and present.<br/>''i-'' and ''u-'' initial stems have ''yai-'' and ''vau-'' respectively (e.g. ''ta-ut-'' → ''ta-vaut-'').
