-'''Partial'''
+*When stressed root syllable has vowel ''ee, ó, aa, uu, ii'' or ''óo'' as nucleus, the apophony is only partial.
-*When root contains vowels ''é, ó, i, æ'' or diphthongs ''ei, oi'', the apophony is only partial: ''luwidh, luwidh, luwuudh''
+*With ''é, ø, æ, i, ei'' or ''oi'' as root vowels, all forms are the same. Only formal register uses ''ée'' as the second apophony of ''ee''.
-*With ''ø'' and long vowels, all forms are usually the same. Formal register uses ''ée'' as the second apophony of ''ee''.
