Potentially every Chlouvānem verb, no matter if exterior or interior, has a '''causative''' conjugation which is considered an inflection and not a derivation, even if the meanings may vary: ''mišake'' is an extreme example as each form has a different meaning (with particularly interior forms having many meanings) - non-causative exterior ''mešu'' "I am seen", interior ''meširu'' "I know; I see myself"; and causative exterior ''maišaxhām'' "I am shown", interior ''maiširxhām'' "I learn; I show myself <small>(trans.)</small>".

Chlouvānem verbs also conjugate for seven '''voices''', each one putting one of seven different core elements as the ''direct-case argument'', usually for means of topicalization or definiteness; they reflect the Austronesian-type morphosyntactical alignment of the language.

Chlouvānem verbs also conjugate for seven '''voices''' (''tadgeroe'', pl. ''tadgerenī''), each one putting one of seven different core elements as the ''direct-case argument'', usually for means of topicalization or definiteness; they reflect the Austronesian-type morphosyntactical alignment of the language. The seven voices are, for exterior verbs:
* '''patient-trigger '''or ''patientive ''(unmarked);
* '''patient-trigger '''or ''patientive'' (''dṛṣokas tadgeroe'') (unmarked);
* '''agent-trigger '''or ''agentive'' (transitive and ditransitive verbs only);
* '''agent-trigger '''or ''agentive'' (''darīnūkas tadgeroe'') (transitive and ditransitive verbs only);
* '''benefactive-trigger '''or simply ''benefactive'';
* '''benefactive-trigger '''or simply ''benefactive'' (''chārimęlīnūkas tadgeroe'');
* '''antibenefactive-trigger '''or simply ''antibenefactive'';
* '''antibenefactive-trigger '''or simply ''antibenefactive'' (''tatflunsusūkas tadgeroe'');
* '''locative-trigger '''or simply ''locative'';
* '''locative-trigger '''or simply ''locative'' (''yutiūkas tadgeroe'');
* '''dative-trigger''' or simply ''dative'' (mostly ditransitive verbs);
* '''dative-trigger''' or simply ''dative'' (''męliausis tadgeroe'') (mostly ditransitive verbs);
* '''instrumental-trigger''' or simply ''instrumental'' (morphologically possible for all verbs, but not always meaningful).
* '''instrumental-trigger''' or simply ''instrumental'' (''drausis tadgeroe'') (morphologically possible for all verbs, but not always meaningful).
Interior verbs only have six voices, as they do not have an agentive voice; the patientive, unmarked voice, is here called '''common voice'''.
