The new template will work definitively with all but four Swahili verbs:
- kwenda (to go) (several concord issues, and an irregular imperative)
- kwisha (to end) (several concord issues, and an irregular imperative)
- kuja (to come) (the Imperative, only, is irregular)
- kuleta (to bring) (the Imperative, only, is irregular)
- kuwa (to be) (defective in Swahili)
I will have to work on an alternate template to address the five other verbs.

The base template now will work with all verbs except "kuwa" and "kuwa na". That verb will be conjugated in its own template.
