=== Preverb 6 Control Affixes ===
The Inverse Volitional affix interacts with the semantics of the verb root.  If a verb root semantically implies the Agent has no control over an event, or the event is by happenstance and not by deliberate intent, the Inverse Volitional derives a verb that implies the Agent has control of an event or is actively seeking to determine its outcome.  As an illustration, the verb root ''-sar-'' (to see) implies happenstance, where as the addition of the Inverse Volitional affix, yielding the form ''kaħsaran'' < ''-kah-sar-'' changes the meaning to "to look at" or even "to stare at".  In contrast, the verb root ''-misk-'' (to be ill) semantically implies lack of control.  Adding the Inverse Volitional Affix plus the Reflexive-Benefactive ''-sakšar-'' to yield the form ''sakšarkasmiskan'' < ''-sakšar-kah-misk-'' changes the meaning to "to deliberately infect oneself in order to play hooky".

=== Preverb 7 Telic Affixes  ===
These affixes interact with the semantics of the verb root, and in doing so, serve as derivational affixes.  For example, the verb root "-dāwap-" (to drip), when prefixed with the Durative, creates the derived verb "-ħtaštāwap-", which means "to trickle".

Except for the Semelfective and Durative, which are incompatible with each other, the affixes in this slot may co-occur with each other.  These affixes interact with the semantics of the verb root, and in doing so, serve as derivational affixes.  For example, the verb root "-dāwap-" (to drip), when prefixed with the Durative, creates the derived verb "-ħtaštāwap-", which means "to trickle".
