For intransitive, agentive verbs, it means "he/she/it did the same thing too". The immediacy of the action is highly salient. | | This affix occurs only with semantically non-stative verbs.

Unlike other verb slots, where the affixes are strictly ordered in relation to each other, the affixes in the Preverb 2 slot exhibit free order, or to be more precise, they are scope-ordered. Within this slot, a given affix exhibits scope over all the elements to its right. With few exceptions, several affixes may occur simultaneously, limited only by whether the combination "makes sense", i.e. the resulting semantic meaning is felicitous. | |||
