* ''ñailūh'' (ice) → ''tæñailūgyake'' (to freeze) (note the ''tæ-'' dynamic prefix).

The other basic derived formation is the frequentative verb, formed with reduplication (with one coda consonant and basic vowel) with diachronic lengthening and '''-ve(y)-''' (''-vi(y)-'' in the past tense<ref>Ex.: ''dadarveyute'' "I repetitively do" vs. ''dadarviyaute'' "I repetitively did"</ref>).<br/>Due to the common use of this form in modern Chlouvānem, some grammarians consider it as an inflectional category instead of a derivation. Note though that this does not apply for motion verbs, as the multidirectional ones are already understood to be frequentative.
The other basic derived formation is the frequentative verb, formed with reduplication (with a long vowel) and '''-ve(y)-''' (''-vi(y)-'' in the past tense<ref>Ex.: ''dṝdaveyute'' "I repetitively do" vs. ''dṝdaviyaute'' "I repetitively did"</ref>). ''-ṛ'' reduplicates as ''ṝ'', but becomes ''a'' in the root.<br/>Due to the common use of this form in modern Chlouvānem, some grammarians consider it as an inflectional category instead of a derivation. Note though that for motion verbs only multidirectional ones have a frequentative form (with iterative meaning); the multidirectionals already act as frequentative forms of the monodirectionals.
* ''dṛ-'' (to do) → ''dadarve-'' (to repetitively do)
* ''dṛ-'' (to do) → ''dṝdave-'' (to repetitively do)
* ''na-gya-'' (to happen) → ''nagijave-'' (to keep happening; to regularly happen, to occur)<ref>The verb "to happen" does not exist as an iterative.</ref>
* ''na-gya-'' (to happen) → ''nagājave-'' (to keep happening; to regularly happen, to occur)<ref>The verb "to happen" does not exist as an iterative.</ref> (''gya-'' reduplicates as ''gi-ja-'', with the ''i'' from the root ''y'').
* ''-gya-'' (to be) + various prefixes → ''bīgijave-'' (to cease to be); ''galagijave-'' (to remain in one place; to visit; to keep being)
* ''-gya-'' (to be) + various prefixes → ''bīgijave-'' (to cease to be); ''galagijave-'' (to remain in one place; to visit; to keep being)
* ''tvorg-'' (to fear) → ''tvartveirgve-'' (to fear over and over again)
* ''tvorg-'' (to fear) → ''totvargve-'' (to fear over and over again) (''tvo-'' reduplicates as ''to-'' instead of ''tva-'').
* ''låvy-'' (to slip) → ''laulavive-'' (to slip around here and there) (''-å-'' reduplicates as ''-au-'' and becomes ''a'' in the root).
Note that ''nairīveke'' conjugates as a frequentative verb, but is not frequentative and does not have frequentative forms.<br/>
Frequentative perfect stems have the ablauted vowel in the reduplication and a long one in the root (cf. ''miš-'', bare frequentative ''mīmišve-'', perfect frequentative ''memīšve-''); both vowels are long for non-ablauted stems (cf. ''nāmv-'', ''nānamve-'', ''nānāmve-'').<br/>
Inverse ablauting roots have similar rules: the bare frequentative uses the reduplication of the nonreduced root and the reduced vowel in the root itself (''vald-'' → va-uld-ve- → ''voldve-''); the frequentative perfect is like the normal frequentative of other verbs, with the long vowel in the reduplication only (''vald-'' → ''vāvaldve-'').
