====Verbal deictic clitics====
There are two deictic clitics which are used with verbs to indicate movement toward or away from the point of reference: centripetal {{Lang|shi-latn|d}} "hither" and centrifugal {{Lang|shi-latn|nn}} "thither":

{{interlinear|lang=shi-latn|number=ex:
|ur issin man ass '''d''' wrrin
|not he.knew which EL-day hither they-return
|"he knew not on which day they would return (toward him)"}}

{{interlinear|lang=shi-latn|number=ex:
|nɣiɣ awn babatun luḥɣ '''nn''' ixf nns ɣ wanu
|I.killed father-your I.threw tither EL-head of.him in EA-waterhole
|"I killed your father and threw his head (away from me) into a waterhole"}}

The use of these clitics is compulsory (idiomatic) with certain verbs. For example, the verb {{Lang|shi-latn|ack}} "come" almost always goes with the centripetal particle, and {{Lang|shi-latn|af}} "find" with the centrifugal clitic:

{{interlinear|lang=shi-latn|number=ex:
|yucka '''d''' darsn yan urqqas zɣ Ɛli Umḥawc
|he.came hither one EA-messenger from Ali Oumhaouch
|"a messenger came to their place from Ali Oumhaouch"}}

{{interlinear|lang=shi-latn|number=ex:
|igg°z s wanu yaf '''nn''' ixf n izimmr
|he.descended to EA-waterhole he.finds tither EL-head of EA-ram
|"he descended into the waterhole and found the head of a ram"}}

When the verbal deictic clitics occur after an object pronoun, they change to {{Lang|shi-latn|id}} and {{Lang|shi-latn|inn}}:

{{interlinear|lang=shi-latn|number=ex:
|iga tn '''id''' ɣ yan uqqrab
|he.put them hither in one EA-pouch
|"he put them in a pouch"}}

{{interlinear|lang=shi-latn|number=ex:
|ar tn '''inn''' nttgga ɣ txibit
|them tither we.are.putting in EA-jar
|"we usually put them in a jar"}}
