OK, some executive decisions. :)

The 'stem vowel' is the last vowel of the root. So pansyru 'kiss' --> pansiri 'someone kisses me'.
For the volitional, if the verb begins with a vowel, insert an h before switching vowels: adnedu 'I add it' --> ahednedu 'I add it on purpose'. Also, don't worry about consonant voicing unless the root begins with a consonant.
The unexpected n's in the paradigm for pabadu were indeed typos.

I've corrected the online grammar, and also brought it up to date with the handful of words recently created.

Thanks very much; not many people would be able to find a typo in Kebreni!
