+\maketitle
+
+Semitic languages generally express the semantic distinction between active and non-active using \term{verbal stems}\pagenr{292}.
+There is a base stem (the \term{G-stem}) and three principal derived stems:
+	the \term{D-stem}, where the middle root consonant is lengthened;
+	the \term{C-stem}, which expresses causativity; and
+	the \term{N-stem}, which has a prefix starting with /n-/
+		and at least in some cases serves as the medio-passive of the G-stem\pagenrs{293--4}.
+An infix /t/ may be used to indicate reflexivity, reciprocality or medio-passiveness.
+Many verbs derived from nouns do not occur in the G-stem.
+Also, over time, usage often tends to shift away from the G-stem.
+Therefore, the description in this paragraph is very rough\pagenr{296}.
+
+In Central Semitic languages\note{Hebrew, Aramaic, Ugaritic, Arabic, and others},
+	\term{internal passives} (where the consonantal skeleton remains unchanged) of the G, D and C stems exist\pagenr{297}.
+\parnote{For an overview of the functions associated to the different stems, see p.~300.}
+
+In Hebrew, the Gt and Ct stems seem to have disappeared,
+	the internal passive Gp only survives in residual forms
+	but the other (medio-)passive and reflexive stems\note{N, Dt, Dp, Cp} remain\pagenr{303}.
+The surviving forms seem to have absorbed some of the functions of the abolished ones.
