Corrádi indicates directionality via satellite verbs; Corradi uses neither nominal morphology, such as case markers, nor verbal inflections, such as applicative affixes. Instead, directionality is embedded within the semantics of the verb. For example the verb ''narin'' means "to go to/towards", whereas ''andrin'' means "to go | Corrádi indicates directionality via satellite verbs; Corradi uses neither nominal morphology, such as case markers, nor verbal inflections, such as applicative affixes.

Many satellite verbs demonstrate a shared etymology, such as ''maza'' and ''maia'' in the previous examples. However, arguments that the ''-z-'' and ''-i-'' segments denote the transitivity of the verb is not supported by the data, as several counterexamples occur, and segments other than a ''z/i'' opposition are also found in the Irraħma author's writings. | Many satellite verbs demonstrate a shared etymology, such as ''maza'' and ''maia'', from an underlying ''ma-'' in the previous examples.
