In Wichita linguistics, the term portative refers to a verb affix which turns a verb of motion into a verb of carrying. In this example, the verb to come (the root ?a) is combined with the portative affix ri to allow it to take a direct object:

 taara?as [ta.i.aa.ri.?a.s] INDIC.3sg.PVB.PORT.come.IMPF He is coming 
 taatíísaaskinna?as [ta.i.aa.tíísaas.kir.ri.?a.s] INDIC.3sg.medicine.liquid.PORT.come.IMPF He is bringing (liquid) medicine. (lit. He is coming and carrying medicine)
