Word Building
1 min read · 142 words
Neyan language has pretty clear structure of word building:
(Prefix) + root + (suffix) + ending + (*post-ending)
*Post-endings are available only for nouns to make out of them adjectives of possession. There is only one post-ending "р" (r)
Endings define the part of speech of every word. They are:
e (e) — singular noun
l (i) — plural noun
u (u) — verb
o (o) — adjective
əvɾ/evɾ (avg/evg) — indefinite part of speech
Roots as you could got it define the meaning of each word. For example:
Zɔɾəv — smth connected with health or greetings
П̊əп̊ — smth connected with father
6eм — when we are talking about smth good
Prefixes and suffixes change or complement words, like:
Voрce (work) + eр (suffix of people) = Voрceрe (worker)
Esu (to be) + п̊ре (prefix of the past) = П̊рееsu (was/were)
