One part of the three-way alternation in which all positionals participate: the basic form means 'be in position X' (this has no infinitive, just a root, and is morphosyntactically a prefixing verb taking a special stative suffix), and the derived verb of (causative) placement is a transitive verb meaning 'to put in position X'. In general the infinitive of placement verbs is based directly on the positional root; their finite forms take an undergoer prefix and an actor suffix.
