''-'' is used to derive {{gcl|INAN2|inanimate 2}}>{{gcl|INAN2|inanimate 2}} {{gcl|PRES}}.{{gcl|INDIC}}.{{gcl|PFV}} verbs from nouns and adjectives, but otherwise verbs are zero-derived.
''-hot'' and ''-hu'' derive nouns of quality from adjectives and verbs respectively; ''-gwe'' and ''-yi'' derives human agent nouns from adjectives and verbs respectively, and ''-tikw'' derives nonhuman agent nouns from both adjectives and verbs.
 
Verbs can be zero-derived from nouns and adjectives, except when the verb would only have null marking (inanimate 2-agent inanimate 2-patient present indicative perfective) where ''-mö'' disambiguates. A causative form ''-möy'' can also be applied to adjectives.
 
''-ox'' and ''-ne'' derive adjectives of consistency and similarity respectively. ''nwö-'' derives adjectives of tendency from verbs.
