Some verbs imply perception without being derived from a verb of perception, by providing an evaluative judgment about an object or a state of affairs. The perception implied may be visual or auditory, but the visual or auditory aspect is not present in the actual evidential usage of the verb. The evaluative judgment is expressed in an Adjective Phrase (AP). The verb itself may carry a positive evaluative meaning in case an evaluative AP is absent, but this is a matter of lexical idiosyncrasy. A minimal pair is provided below:

This verb implies or entails visual perception rather than asserting it. The verb itself presumably derives from the noun byld image. The visual aspect may be completely absent, as in the following example:

The verb tekenje, which literally means draw, can come to mean point to or become (chiefly) visible, so it is also a verb implying perception. An example of this verb is provided in (5), in which negation is used to assert the incorrectness of an evaluation. Furthermore, the evaluation is not ethical or esthetic, but qualitative. Correspondingly, the evaluation itself is not expressed as an AP, but as an NP:

A verb of indirect perception can also be auditory in origin, as in the case of hjitte or hite be called, command, promise, which is shown below:

The same applies to sizze say:

The following example involves a reflexive construction:
