====Analytic constructions and auxiliary verbs====
Chlouvānem uses many analytic constructions - including auxiliary and compound verbs - in order to convey some shades of meaning. Most of these use either a participle or the infinitive as the form of the lexical verb:
* ''present participle (-suse form)'' in the needed voice + ''gyake'' in the needed tense: compound construction used for the progressive aspect in the three tenses (present, past (aorist), future). In the present, the form of ''gyake'' is omitted for the third person, or for all persons if a pronoun is present.
** ''yųlasusьça valu'' "I am eating"
** ''yųlasusьça mos'' "I was eating"
** ''yųlasusьça mavū'' "I will be eating"
* ''infinitive'' + ''ñeaʔake'' (to be used to): compound construction used for a habitual action in present, past, or future tense. It is not used with motion verbs in the present, as the multidirectional verb already unambiguously has this meaning.
** ''yaive prājamne læhike ñeaʔuça'' "I am used to read every evening"
** ''yaive prājamne læhike ñeaʔaṃça'' "I used to read every evening"
** ''yaive prājamne læhike ñeaʔiṣyaṃça'' "I will be used to read every evening"
