The question may relate to the term "base form of a verb". The base form of the verb is the form that can be used to derive the stem that carries the basic meaning of the verb, or is even equal to the bare stem, and hence is used in a dictionary. In English this is the bare infinitive form without the infinitive mark "to".
Often, however, the stem vary irregularly with inflection, and in those cases a combination of base forms must be listed.
I think the question may also relate to the term "verb base".
A verb-base is a verb stem consisting of two or more parts that can be separated from each other by other elements. All elements bear the meaning together and do not have a separate meaning in the construction. One of the part usually takes the role as the formally inflected stem and the other parts figure as prefixes, suffixes or even as separate words. The other parts are often called thematic elements.
In some grammers a verb-base is called verb-phrase.
Italian is a language with a number of such web-bases. There is a fomal verb stem that takes the inflection. In addition the adverbial elements "ci", "vi", "ne", a reflexive pronoun and the pronoun "la" may be the thematic elements.
An example: To "cope" is in italian "cavarsela". In this infinitive form the thematic elements are suffixed: cavar-se-la, but in most verb forms they are prefixed: se-la-cav-.
Now, let us see how this works in detail. If you say in Italien "he did cope", it sounds:
"Se l'è cavata"
In this case the tematic prefixes are separated from the formal stem by the auxiliary "è". You also can see that the prefixes are modified when combined with other elements, a typical phenomenon.
Another example: andarsene /se-ne-and- to go away, leave. A practical example:
Se n'è andato - he left.
The Amerindian language Navajo has a great number of verb-bases and the constructions can be even more complicated than in Italian, but the principle is the same.
