Once again, the first group is the one called the group. In order to make these verbals Negative Imperfective direct, all you need to do is add . In order to make them Negative Perfective direct, you need to add to the stem.

The group of verbals whose STEM ends in follow this pattern:
The is replaced with , then the NAI or NAKATTA is added.

STEM	Negative Imperfective Direct	Negative Perfective Direct
