The overt forms of the various aspects is dependent on the consonant make-up of the root, of which belongs to the system of consonant roots. Such roots exhibit two or three consonants. Roots whose consonants are '''phonologically stable''' are roots whose consonants are not lateral (L-roots), rhotic (R-roots), fricative (S-roots), or semi-vowel (J-roots and W-roots), and are the so-called CCC-roots; such roots may vary in the imperfective aspect depending if both the 1 and 2 consonants are stops. '''Phonologically unstable''' roots exhibit minor irregularities in their construction, of which depends on the location of the unstable consonant(s) in the root: initial, medial, final. Roots consisting of two consonants, called ∅CC-roots, have variable manifestations and typically form via leveling, realized as the 2 consonant being doubled and acting as the 1 consonant. | The overt forms of the various aspects is dependent on the consonant make-up of the root, of which belongs to the system of consonant roots.

Morpho-phonological phenomena and historical processes notwithstanding, the general structure of aspect is the following: | |||
