Words of conjugations '''Ia''' & '''Ib''' often come in transitive-intransitive pairs so that switching the last vowel from ''a/o'' to ''e'' gives anticausative meaning: ''Ema sish'' (He moves it <''emma'') to ''Em xi'' (It moves <''emme'') | Words of conjugations '''Ia''' & '''Ib''' often come in transitive-intransitive pairs so that switching the last vowel from ''a/o'' to ''e'' gives anticausative meaning: ''Ema sish'' (He moves it <''emma'') to ''Em xi'' (It moves <''emme'') | ||

The only Aoman verbs whose infinite forms end in consonants ''m'' or ''s''. | |||
