Denominal verbs, in Chlouvānem, are not formed with derivational suffixes; a "light verb" is attached to the semantic root instead; the semantic root remains invariable but the light verb is conjugated (as a prefixed one). The light verb used are especially ''dṛke'' (to do, make), but also ''jåliake'' (to do an action), ''jānake'' (to feel (physical)), and ''gyake'' (to be). Some examples: | |||
* ''āmaya'' (collection) → ''āmayadṛke'' (to collect) | |||
* ''språma'' (glue) → ''språñjåliake'' (to glue) | |||
* '' | * ''jålkha'' (cold (sensation)) → ''jålkhajānake'' (to be/feel cold) | ||
* ''ñailūh'' (ice) → ''tæñailūgyake'' (to freeze) (note the ''tæ-'' dynamic prefix). | |||

Positional prefixes can be used to derive new, more specific verbs, from other ones; [[Chlouvānem#Positional_prefixes_as_derivational_affixes|see the section under ''Positional verbs'' for more.]] | Positional prefixes can be used to derive new, more specific verbs, from other ones; [[Chlouvānem#Positional_prefixes_as_derivational_affixes|see the section under ''Positional verbs'' for more.]] |
