      You could construct a cis- form of the word, but it’s not always going to be useful, or even sensible.

      Cismit? Cisaction? Cislate? Cisportation?

        Cismit - communicating with one self, for e.g. inner dialog

        Cisaction - an agreement with one self or within a group

        Cislate - to rephrase in the same language

        Cisportation - moving inside a boundary
