ending in -shii (-??), and in those verbs ending in -ru (-?) in which this syllable drops in derived nouns, the final two syllables are written phonetically. There are also irregularities. For example, the word umareru 'be born' is derived from umu 'to bear, to produce'. As such, it may be written ???? [?mareru], reflecting its derivation, or ??? [?reru], as with other verbs ending in elidable -ru.
