As visible above, the godan verb yomu (読む, to read) has a static verb stem, yo-(読〜), and a dynamic conjugational stem which changes depending on the purpose: yoma-(読ま〜, row 1), yomi-(読み〜, row 2), yomu (読む, row 3), yome-(読め〜, row 4) and yomo-(読も〜, row 5).

A verb that does not follow all of the standard conjugation patterns of the language is said to be an irregular verb. The system of all conjugated variants of a particular verb or class of verbs is called a verb paradigm; this may be presented in the form of a conjugation table.
Verbs may also be changed to respectful forms. One respectful form is a modification of the verb with a prefix and a polite suffix. For example, 読 （ よ ） む, yomu (read) becomes o-yomi ni naru, with the prefix o-added to the i-form of the verb, and the verb ending ni naru. The verb ending -(r)areru can also be used, such as yomareru.

Analogous orthographic conventions find occasional use in English, which, being more familiar, help in understanding okurigana. As an inflection example, when writing Xing for cross-ing, as in Ped Xing (pedestrian crossing), the -ing is a verb suffix, while cross is the dictionary form of the verb – in this case cross is the reading of the character X, while -ing is analogous to okurigana.
Rather than select a single definition, Gledhill [3] proposes that collocation involves at least three different perspectives: co-occurrence, a statistical view, which sees collocation as the recurrent appearance in a text of a node and its collocates; [4] [5] [6] construction, which sees collocation either as a correlation between a lexeme and ...
A strong inflection is a system of verb conjugation or noun/adjective declension which can be contrasted with an alternative system in the same language, which is then known as a weak inflection. The term strong was coined with reference to the Germanic verb , but has since been used of other phenomena in these and other languages, which may or ...
