Passive Voice
82. It was stated in §65 that the passive base is formed by adding ya
to the root. This ya is affixed to the root in various ways:
A. It is directly added after roots ending in a vowel. In that case
the radical aa of the root is changed to ii; i and u are lengthened.
B. To the roots ending in a consonant (when the euphonic vowel is
removed) it is added with the help of an ii (or i).
C. In many cases y of ya after a root ending in a consonant is
assimilated to that consonant or changed together with it.
