Frank,
	Nahuatl doesn't have "verbs", it has "verb phrases". The terminology  
we use here in Zacatecas for "verb phrase" is "tlachihualiztlahtolli", 
"an action phrase", or for short, "tlachihualiztli", "an action, or the 
act of doing something."
	"To move oneself" is "moolinia", so "self movement" is "mooliniliztli".
