 :: I know. (interior)
 Interior forms of transitive verbs usually may have a distinct meaning together with the normal reflexive or reciprocal ones; for example, ''meširu'' may also mean "I see myself" (e.g. in a mirror).
+====Temperature====
+The verbs related to the three basic temperatures - hot, warm, and cold - are actually divided in two semantic pairs denoting ambient and contact temperature, as in the following table:
+{| class="wikitable"
+|-
+! !! Ambient !! Contact
+|-
+! Hot
+| īlāmike<br/><small>(īlāmy-, 1)</small> || miṣyake<br/><small>(2: meṣyire - miṣyirek - imiṣyirā)</small>
+|-
+! Warm
+| nīlake<br/><small>(3: nailire - nīlirek - inīlirā)</small> || ūṣṇike<br/><small>(2: oṣṇyire - ūṣṇyirek - uɂūṣṇyirā)</small>
+|-
+! Cold
+| jålkhe<br/><small>(jålkh-, 1)</small> || švyānte<br/><small>(švyānt-, 1)</small>
+|}
+In the interior voice, those verbs denote states:
+: ''amyære nailire.''
+:: It's warm today.
+: ''jålkhu!''
+:: I feel cold!
+: ''galtāt miṣyirde : mruṣṭhūyi!''
+:: The two mugs are hot, be careful!
+In the exterior voice, their meanings change: the "ambient" verbs are inchoative and intransitive, while the "contact" ones are transitive:
+: ''khāngeltyu nāṭ imiṣyeste dām?''
+:: Have you already heated up the tandoor?
+: ''ejulā jålkhē.''
+:: It's getting cold (in) here.
