North Saami +Der/PassL is not lexicalised. +Der/PassL: someone has done the verb, e.g. “Uksa rahppojuvvui” (someone opened the door, “Uksa rahpasii”: here is not clear if someone opened the door, or if it opened of some other reason.)

+Der/PassL and +Der/PassS: usually same meaning. We lexicalise +Der/PassS with special meaning, e.g. lahppot, gávdnot. +Der/PassS only for Vowel stems.

Lang.   Vowel stem  Consonant stem
sme +Der/halla: gávdnat > gávnnahallat not
smj +Der/PassD: gávnnat > gávnadallat not
smn ? -
sma +Der/htalle: gaavnedh > gaavnehtalledh not
sje ? ?
sms ? ?

North Saami +Der/halla-form is usually also lexicalised: gávnnahallat+V+IV+Pass+Inf (+Pass only for this form, so we could consider a +Der/PassH for this). +Der/halla derivations can also have frequentative meaning.

Meaning: juoga dáhpáhuvvá vahágis olbmui. The agent can be mentioned, in Illative.
“Son gávnnahalai johkafáktii dan dahkamin.”

Suggestion: sme:+Der/halla => +Der/PassH, sma:+Der/htalle => +Der/PassHT, smj:+Der/PassD
