Usage notes
The allomorphs with appear when attaching to an initial vowel in a closed or long initial syllable. Before an initial consonant the allomorphs with are used. Before an initial vowel in a short open syllable the prefix usually becomes a bare vowel, but a small collection of roots allow either a form with or a form without, with each variant form having a different meaning.

The allomorphs with are used if the first vowel of the verb stem is  and the next is unrounded. If the next is rounded, or if the first vowel is, an allomorph with is used instead. If the first vowel is, then the vowel of the prefix is likewise. This prefix further triggers ablaut on verbs with first vowel or, backing them to  and , respectively.
