¹ When the accusative would have ended in ''-Vum'' (where ''V'' represents a vowel), the ''-u-'' instead dropped causing the preceding vowel to be lengthened.
¹ After a vowel. In the singular m./f. accusative, the preceding vowel to be lengthened if short.

====Long vowel-stems====
====Vowel-stems====
These comprise nouns whose stems end in a long vowel (excluding ā-stems).
These comprise nouns whose stems end in a vowel that are not o-, ā-, or i-stems. They most often end in long vowels, but not always.

¹ A final short vowel is lengthened.


'''Examples:'''
'''Examples:'''
*'''də̃źwā́s, də̃źū́s (f.):''' tongue
*'''də̃źū́s, də̃źwā́s (f.):''' tongue
*'''méjas, ũjás (m.):''' big one
====Mixed consonant-vowel stems====
These are nouns where strong stem and weak stems forms differ in declension such that one of them is declined as a consonant stem and the other is declined as a vowel stem.
 
'''Examples:'''
*'''póntōs, póntōs, pə̃tés (m.):''' road, path
 
====Weak stem patterns====
Nouns with weak stems that differ from their strong stems tend to follow certain trends. Common ways to derive the weak stem from the strong stem include (note that multiple ways may co-occur):
*Shift of accent from the root to the ending.
*Shortening a long vowel.
*Change of ''-o-'' to ''-e-''.
*Dropping the nucleus vowel (usually ''-o-'' or ''-e-'').
**If this results in a forbidden consonant cluster:
***If one of the consonants in that cluster is a liquid (''r, l''), a nasal (''n, m''), or a glide (''y, w''), it is converted to its syllabic counterpart.
***Otherwise, the cluster is broken with ''-ə-''.
Note that even if one or more of the above changes are possible, they may not occur in a given noun. Unpredictable changes can also occur.
 
===Adjectives===
Adjectives are declined as the noun classes; however, in constrast to the masculine and neuter, the feminine almost always falls under the ā-stem class.
 
The formation of the feminine generally depends on the masculine and neuter class as per the table below:

'''Notes:'''
¹ The feminine weak stem may end in a palatalized consonant instead of ''-y-''. However, cases where this would occur have mostly been reversed by anology.
-->
The citation form of adjectives is: ''masculine singular nominative, neuter singular nominative, (masculine/neuter singular genitive), (feminine singular nominative), (feminine singular genitive)''.
*The genitive(s) can be dropped when the adjective is declined regularly. This most often happens with ō/ā-stem adjectives.
*The feminine singular nominative is dropped when feminine forms are identical to the masculine. This occurs in a few adjectives (never o/ā-class), the most notable of which are the cardinal numbers 3 and 4.
Like nouns, adjectives have weak stems. These are formed similarly as those of nouns.

Each of these stems may have strong and weak variants.


The first three stems are given by the principle parts. The neutral stem can be derived from the present or future stem by the following rules:
These stems are given by the principal parts. For most verbs, the neutral stem is not directly given in a principal part but instead can be regularly derived from the present or future stem by the following rules:
#If one of the two stems is derived from the other by adding something (a suffix, infix, prefix, etc.), the simpler stem (i.e. the one that does not have the addition) is used.
#If one of the two stems is derived from the other by adding something (a suffix, infix, prefix, etc.), the simpler stem (i.e. the one that does not have the addition) is used.
#If the stems are suppletive, the perfect stem is used.
#If the stems are suppletive, the perfect stem is used.
In cases where the above rules do not apply, the neutral stem is directly provided in the principal parts.
Regardless of which stem is used, the neutral stem inherits both the strong and weak variants from its parent stem.

For example, the citation form of the verb "to be" is ''ézmi, əzmés, fū́mi, fevū́ħa''. Note that the 1P future and perfect forms are excluded since the weak stems are identical to the corresponding strong stems.
