In fact, we already mentioned how to turn the
active imperfective verbs to passive while we were talking about the
imperfective structures.
This is done by modifying two elements in the
structures:
The short vowel of the pronominal prefix (i.e.
the
ain
'a-, ta-,
ya- &
na-) will be
changed to u (if is not already).
The short vowel between the final two letters
of the verb stem (the green short vowel) will be changed to
a.
Or, in the terminology of this site, the
imperfective passive verbs are all
Yu-a
verbs.

*Form XV is a defective-verb-like. The
final weak A of this form will be turned to
a
when preceded by an
a, and the
"he" pronominal suffix. The passive conjugation of defective
