+True verbs consist of a prefix and a root. In the base form of the verb (i.e. when it stands alone), the prefix is ''e-, i-'' or ''y-'' and bears no particular meaning.
+The following prefixes may be used with the true verbs, replacing the ''e-, i-'' or ''y-'' of the base:
+* ''era-'' (causative), e.g. ''erakash'' "teach" < ''ekash'' "learn", ''erayeki'' "build, erect" < ''eyeki'' "stand".
+* ''ena-'' (pejorative), e.g. ''enaro'' "molest" < ''ero'' "touch", ''enaus'' "flee, escape" < ''yus'' "move away". The prefix specifically indicates perversity, ill intent or action resulting in unfortunate circumstances and does not suggest that the action of the verb was performed badly.
+The root of a true verb may also be reduplicated to form a verb with intensive or frequentative meaning, e.g. ''ewaawas'' "stomp, trample", ''inuanua'' "shout, roar", ''eralulu'' "destroy".
