Tima, like Hausa, may combine the Ventive marker with lexical roots in order to express a second, subsecutive event, as in the imperative verb forms in examples 14 and 15.
Whereas in Hausa and Tima, the Ventive expresses a subsecutive event, the Maasai Ventive marker usually (though not always) expresses a simultaneous event that again is causally unrelated to the event expressed by the verb root.
In Maasai, the Ventive may express both simultaneous and subsecutive events, depending on the verb root to which it is attached (examples 3 and 6).
Nevertheless, clear cases of alloying expressing subsecutive rather than simultaneous events can be found, for example in Mabaan (Andersen 1999: 109).
