  1. The final ‹e› ’in the 1st sg ke- and 2nd sg (h)se- forms appears before stems beginning with:
    • the consonants n r w ’
    • two consonants
      • except when the first one is h
      • except for sk st s’
      • except for kw ky ts
    • three consonants except for tsy
    • Otherwise there is no final ‹e›. The forms are: 1st sg k- and 2nd sg (h)s- forms.
  2. When there is a prefix before 2nd sg (h)se-, the h is pronounced, otherwise the prefix is se-.
  3. When there is a prefix before 3nd sg masc. ra-, an h replaces the r, resulting in the prefix ha-.
