mi

The verb mi "to see" is an irregular verb with a stem change to the oblique variant v-:

mi Past Present Imperative
Intransitive 1st person vi vo vub
2nd person ve vae vi
3rd person vel va vob
Transitive 1st person vebi vabo vwub
2nd person vebe vabae vwi
3rd person vebel vaba vwob

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

The verb pys "to find" is an irregular stem-changing verb:


pu Past Present Imperative
Intransitive 1st person pwi pwo pwub
2nd person pwe pwae pwi
3rd person pwel pwa pwob
Transitive 1st person pwebi pwabo pwubub
2nd person pwebe pwabae pwubi
3rd person pwebel pwaba pwubob

Below is the conjugation of sopa "to answer, respond appropriately":

pessam Past Present Imperative
Intransitive 1st person sopi sopo sopub
2nd person sope sopae sopi
3rd person sopel sopa sopob
Transitive 1st person sopebi sopabo soppub
2nd person sopebe sopabae soppi
3rd person sopebel sopaba soppob

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-.
