In derivations, the static imperfective <i> moves from infix (which becomes 0) to prefix, so the form becomes DiRRM instead of RiRM (R & R are the root consonants, M is the mood suffix, and D is the derivation consonant). There are also dynamic derivation of static verbs and dynamic derivations of dynamic verbs, both DARRM (A is the aspect vowel). While I'm thinking about it, I should list the derivations.
Static to Static:
/j/ - a state between the named quality and it's opposite
/b/ - continuation of the state
Edit: I forgot the following two derivations; they apply to qualities.
/m/ - "very"
/z/ - "slightly"
Static to Dynamic:
/p/ - transition into the state
/c/ - transition from the state
/x/ - transition through the state
/g/ - an increase in the named quality
Dynamic to Dynamic:
/n/ - habitual
/d/ - iterative
/b/ - continuation of an action (imperfective only)
