For some verbs, the interior form is static, and the exterior one is used to describe the beginning of that state, e.g. with ''haleike'' "to be calm":
: ''halęru''
{{Gloss
:: I am calm. (interior)
| phrase = halęru.
: ''haleyah''
| gloss = be_calm.<small>IND.PRES-1SG.COMMON.INTERIOR</small>.
:: I am getting calm. (exterior)
| translation = I am calm.
 
}}
{{Gloss
| phrase = haleyah.
| gloss = be_calm.<small>IND.PRES-1SG.PATIENT.EXTERIOR</small>.
| translation = I am getting calm ~ calming down.
}}

: ''yālvire''
{{Gloss
:: It is sweet.
| phrase = yālvire.
: ''yālvē''
| gloss = be_sweet.<small>IND.PRES-3SG.COMMON.INTERIOR</small>.
:: It is becoming sweet.
| translation = It is sweet.
 
}}
Note that, with [[Chlouvānem/Positional_and_motion_verbs#Positional_verbs_.28jalyadaradhaus.29|positional verbs]], the reverse is true: the exterior form is static and the interior one is dynamic, e.g.:
{{Gloss
: ''tatimu''
| phrase = yālvē.
:: I am standing. (exterior)
| gloss = be_sweet.<small>IND.PRES-3SG.PATIENT.EXTERIOR</small>.
: ''tatyairu''
| translation = It is becoming sweet.
:: I stand up. (interior)
}}
Note that, with [[Chlouvānem/Positional_and_motion_verbs#Positional_verbs_.28jalyadaradhaus.29|positional verbs]], the inverse is true: the exterior form is static and the interior one is dynamic, e.g.:
{{Gloss
| phrase = tatimu.
| gloss = be_standing.<small>IND.PRES-1SG.PATIENT.EXTERIOR</small>.
| translation = I am standing.
}}
{{Gloss
| phrase = tatyairu.
| gloss = be_standing.<small>IND.PRES-1SG.COMMON.INTERIOR</small>.
| translation = I stand up.
}}
