[...] we learn to 'break down' the language structure [...], and to 'reassemble' it [...]
- Nida (1949), Pag. 5

We frequentlly cannot break down such forms into constituent parts, but we should be watchful for possibilities to do so. That is to say, we must look to see if some part of these stems does not occur in other words. In fact, our entire analytical procedure consists in discovering the recurring parts of utterances and classifying them.
