3. When used with a root that has a guttural as the third letter, the word takes the form CéCaC.
4. When used with a root that has the same second and third letter, the word generally takes the form CaC.
5. When used with a root with yud as the second letter, the word takes the form CáyiC, with construct forms, plural forms, and possessed forms starting with CeC-.
6. When used with a root with yud as the third letter, the word takes the form CeCí, with construct and possessed forms starting with CiCy-.
