*'''Detransitive:''' add ''-du'' to stem - e.g. ''labá'' "to wash" -> ''labadú'' "to become washed"

**While this is technically a passive form, this is generally used when the action occurred without intent. If there is intent involved, use the impersonal pseudopassive instead.

*'''Trasitivized/~~Intransitive causative~~:''' add ''-fa'' to stem - e.g. ''durmî'' "to sleep" -> ''durmifâ'' "to put to sleep"

*'''Trasitivized/Causative 1:''' add ''-fa'' to stem - e.g. ''durmî'' "to sleep" -> ''durmifâ'' "to put to sleep"

**Usually used with intransitive verbs.

**This can be combined with the middle to form ''-fase'' - e.g. ''kusê'' "to cook (intr.)" -> ''kusefâ'' "to cook (tr.)" -> ''kusefasê'' "to cook for oneself"

*'''~~Transitive causitive~~:''' add ''-da'' to stem - e.g. ''kumê'' "to eat" -> ''kumedâ'' "to give to eat"

*'''Causitive 2:''' add ''-da'' to stem - e.g. ''kumê'' "to eat" -> ''kumedâ'' "to give to eat"

**Usually used with transitive verbs, and often when someone is being "caused" to do something.

**This can be combined with the middle to form ''-dase''.
