===Verbs===
The main denominal verb-forming suffix is '''-ora-''', used mainly with the meaning of "to make/create X" or "to have X":
Denominal verbs, in Chlouvānem, are not formed with derivational suffixes; a "light verb" is attached to the semantic root instead; the semantic root remains invariable but the light verb is conjugated (as a prefixed one). The light verb used are especially ''dṛke'' (to do, make), but also ''jåliake'' (to do an action), ''jānake'' (to feel (physical)), and ''gyake'' (to be). Some examples:
* ''āmaya'' (collection) → ''āmayorake'' (to collect)
* ''āmaya'' (collection) → ''āmayadṛke'' (to collect)
* ''yuiça'' (sound) → ''yuiçorake'' (to make a sound)
* ''språma'' (glue) → ''språñjåliake'' (to glue)
* ''çuliė'' (friend (f)) → ''çuliyorake'' (to befriend, to become friends with)
* ''jålkha'' (cold (sensation)) → ''jålkhajānake'' (to be/feel cold)
 
* ''ñailūh'' (ice) → ''tæñailūgyake'' (to freeze) (note the ''tæ-'' dynamic prefix).
'''-ьeiš-''' (alternating with preconsonantal '''-ьeiki-''') forms a verb with the meaning of "to make something X(-like)" or something related to using X:
* ''raikas'' (smoke) → ''raiceiške'' (to smoke food)
* ''lallāmita'' (future) → ''lallāmitieiške'' (to plan)
* ''brausa'' (sainthood) → ''brausieiške'' (to sanctify, hallow)


Positional prefixes can be used to derive new, more specific verbs, from other ones; [[Chlouvānem#Positional_prefixes_as_derivational_affixes|see the section under ''Positional verbs'' for more.]]
