Thus, for most of the table, '''sopa''' is a "hyper-regular" verb, meaning that it disobeys even the consonant mutation rules that the regular nouns follow. But in the transitive imperative, it becomes irregular in the sense that it is one of the very few verbs in which the normally reliable ''-b-'' that appears in transitive verbs has changed to ''-p-''. This is under the influence of a previously existing ''-f-''. | |||

plomip
The verb plomip "to pray, to request for" is a syncopating verb:
| plomip | Past | Present | Imperative | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intransitive | 1st person | plompwi | plompwo | plompwub |
| 2nd person | plompwe | plompwae | plompwi | |
| 3rd person | plompwel | plompwa | plompwob | |
| Transitive | 1st person | plompwebi | plompwabo | plompwubub |
| 2nd person | plompwebe | plompwabae | plompwubi | |
| 3rd person | plompwebel | plompwaba | plompwubob |
Note that this verb is a doublet of plommip, which has no significant difference in meaning. Plommip is regular because there are no sound changes which could have created an -mmp- cluster in the middle of a word. Thus
- Pawiapop plompwabo.
and
- Pawiapop plommipwabo.
both mean
- "I'm praying for a boat."
pys

| pu | Past | Present | Imperative | |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intransitive | 1st person | sopi | sopo | sopub |

But in the transitive imperative, it becomes irregular in the sense that it is one of the very few verbs in which the normally reliable -b- that appears in transitive verbs has changed to -p-. This is under the influence of a previously existing -f-.
