The neutral aspect of the i- verb is formed by prefixing i- to the verb root. To this neutral form,
insert the infix -in- before the first vowel of the root and the completed aspect is formed. If
instead the first (consonant)-vowel of the neutral form is reduplicated, the contemplated aspect
is formed. If the first (consonant)-vowel of the neutral form is reduplicated and then the infix -in-
is inserted before the first vowel of this reduplicated syllable, the incompleted aspect is formed.

Reduplicate first (C)V- of root in the neutral forms

Remember that the infix -in- becomes ni- before vowels and the consonants h, y, n, l.
