Other derivational affixes, both prefixes and suffixes, are more common, some appear to be highly productive and suggest they can be spontaneously generated: | |||
* ''-kai'': a deverbal for creating place nouns, e.g. ''iaviti-kai'' "a place for buying", i.e. marketplace. | |||
* ''-pallahái'': another deverbal for creating place nouns, e.g. ''tukim-pallahái'' "a place for sitting", i.e. hearth, dining room. | |||
Some affixes may be chained, as in ''tukim-kai-pallahái'' "place for buying and sitting", i.e. a tavern. | |||
