====Verb extensions====
When verb extensions (other than the passive and intensive) are added, the verb always ends in the vowel ''-ä'' (or ''-a'' after gutturals) in the present.
'''Notes:'''
*When verb extensions (other than the passive and intensive) are added, the verb always ends in the vowel ''-ä'' in the present.
*-<sup><small>S</small></sup> and -<sup><small>P</small></sup> represent spirantization and palatalization of the preceding consonant (if applicable) respectively. Recent loans might not be affected.


'''Passive''' is formed with the ending ''-́wa'' (''-íwa'') in the present and ''-́we'' (''-íwe'') in the perfect. With stems ending in a velar or guttural, labialize the final consonant and add ''-́a'' (present) / ''-́e'' (perfect).
'''Passive''' is formed with the ending ''-́wa'' (''-íwa'') in the present and ''-́we'' (''-íwe'') in the perfect. With stems ending in a velar or guttural, labialize the final consonant and add ''-́a'' (present) / ''-́e'' (perfect).

'''Causative''' is formed with the suffix ''-ísh-'' {''-́sh-''}, which becomes ''-íz-'' {''-́z-''} before the perfect ending. This suffix spirantizes and palatalizes preceding consonants wherever applicable; however, loanwords may not be affected.
'''Causative''' is formed with the suffix ''-<sup><small>SP</small></sup>ísh-'' (''-ísh-'') {''-́sh-''}, which becomes ''-<sup><small>SP</small></sup>íz-'' (''-íz-'') {''-́z-''} before the perfect ending. <!--This suffix spirantizes and palatalizes preceding consonants wherever applicable; however, loanwords may not be affected.-->

'''Applicative''' is formed with the suffix ''-(ï)l-''. This suffix causes velar/guttural consonants to be palatalized; again, loanwords may not be affected.
