A few more specific verbs exist, like for example the pair ''kamilāṇṭake''/''kælilāṇṭake'', used for putting on/taking off a ''lāṇṭepenai'' (colloquially just ''penai''), a kind of net made of Calemerian juta (''lāriṭa'') usually worn by adolescent girls (traditionally it was worn by unmarried women) with "cotton" hair (''bhadvausiñe'', or how Chlouvānem people call "Afro-textured hair").

===~~Sentence phrase~~===

===Relative clauses and equivalents===

Chlouvānem relative clauses are nonreduced and built in a correlative structure: both clauses are independent, with the relative clause defining the shared noun with a relative pronoun (the '''te-''' column of the [[Chlouvānem/Morphology#Correlatives|table of correlatives]]) while the main clause uses the corresponding distal one ('''nanā''' ('''ateni''' in Archaic Chlouvānem) and variations).

The structure is thus as follows:

: ''tėvita jāyim mešegąsī nanā jāyim liliā buneya.''

: which_person.REL.DIR. girl.DIR.SG. see-IND.PRES.3S.EXTERIOR.PATIENT-2S.ERG. that.DIR. girl.DIR.SG. 1S.GEN. older_sister.DIR.SG.

: My older sister is the girl that you see.

It should be noted that, when relative clauses are about things or people (thus requiring the relativizers ''tejāmi'' or ''tėvita''), this strategy is commonly only used for free relative clauses, while bound relative clauses are most commonly built by using verbal participles. The example sentence “My older sister is the girl that you see” in normal speech is:

: ''sąi mekṣusam jāyim liliā buneya.''

: 2S.ERG. see-PART.PRES.EXTERIOR.PATIENT-LOTUS.DIR. girl.DIR.SG. 1S.GEN. older_sister.DIR.SG.

In a free relative clause, the correlative structure is the most common one, with sentences such as:

: ''tejāmiau mešuça nanāt gu tarliru ša''.

: which_thing.REL-ACC. see-IND.PRES.1S.EXTERIOR-AGENT. that-EXESS. NEG- know-IND.PRES.1S.INTERIOR. -NEG.

: I don’t know/understand what I see.

With all other relativizers, the correlative structure is usually the only solution; place (''tėjulā'') and manner (''tėlīce'') may use participles in locative-trigger or instrumental-trigger instead, but still the correlative structure is preferred:

: ''liliā ñæltah tėmiya līlekhaitui tesmudhiṣya ātiya tami lairkeikui khlavasiṣyailī''.

: 1S.GEN. sister.DIR.SG. when.REL. Līlekhaitė-DAT. depart_with_plane-IND.FUT.3S.EXTERIOR.PATIENT. then. 3S.DIR.PARROT. airport-DAT.SG. go_with.IND.FUT.3S.EXTERIOR.PATIENT-1S.ERG.

: When my sister takes the plane to Līlekhaitė, I will go with her to the airport.

: ''tami tėmena kulitьçait ātmena gu tarliru ša''.

: 2S.DIR. why.REL. say-IND.AOR.3S.EXTERIOR-AGENT-3S.ACC. that_reason. NEG- know-IND.PRES.1S.INTERIOR. -NEG.

: I don’t know why (s)he said it.
