Even though Saalangal has a distinction between adjectives/adverbs and
nouns, verbs, theoretically any root can become a verb, even the roots for
the adjectives. Such as the root for the adjective "cold" (sapanás). The
root can be turned into a stative verb by dropping the adjective prefix,
and adding on the proper focuses, etc.

If you wanted to say "he is cold", but didn't want to say it the normal
way (Sapanás na taw), you could say it like: Ponanásan taw. (Is cold he).
