Firstly, to construct the verb, the appropriate stem has to be derived from the root. The indicative stem is formed by lengthening the root vowel (CVC- → CVːC-) whereas the optative mood is formed by aspirating the final consonant (CVC- → CVCʰ-). After this step has been performed, if the verb is desired to be passive, an ''a-'' will be prefixed. Finally, the relevant person prefixes are added together with the appropriate tense suffix. | <!--Firstly, to construct the verb, the appropriate stem has to be derived from the root.
