==Motion verbs (''duldaradhaus'')==
Motion verbs, in Chlouvānem, are furthermore divided into two categories: monodirectional (''emibugirdaradhūs, -aus'') and multidirectional (''tailgirdaradhūs, -aus'') motion verbs.<br/>There is a total of 18 meanings for which motion verbs are used: 16 are pairs while two only have a monodirectional verb. Historically, multidirectional verbs were iteratives (as shown by their formation with the Proto-Lahob *-re- infix), but today they have a larger set of uses.
