I know that one of the ways of getting a noun from a verb is by taking the
い-stem (or the ます-stem as some call it) of the verb. However I came across
this:

Taken from
[here](https://maggiesensei.com/2017/06/26/verb-%E2%86%92noun-%E3%80%9C%E3%81%AF%E3%81%97%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84-%E3%80%9C%E3%82%82%E3%81%97%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84-%E3%80%9C%E3%82%84%E3%81%97%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84-wa-
shinai-mo-shinai-y/), where it says that there are some verbs that you can't
do that with. I was wondering if there is some list of verbs that you can't
make a noun out of their い-stem or are they too numerous to count (and
therefore I will have to find them out through trial and error).

Thanks!
