Second declension nominals fall similarly into a number of prosodically-definable subtypes, including monosyllabic nominals such as PUU 'tree', iambic nominals such as TROFEE 'trophy' and nominals such as KIRIK 'church' with dactylic genitive singulars like kiriku.
For example, the 2sg infinitive form 'hakka and the 2pl form hakake identify HAKKAMA as a second declension verb and imply the strong supine 'hakkama, and the weak infinitive and past impersonals hakata and hakati, among other forms.
