    I really like the idea of incorporating the case into the infix.  I was
under the influence of Arabic when I constructed my triconsonantal language,
so it has an accusative suffix.  One question:  So, what does mazat mean?
Lover?  Love?  Beloved?  Loving (the act of)?  A loved object?  If I guess
right by the word in your title, it would mean "love", the abstract form, and
the nouns you've created make up the "basic" form of the noun, as you see it
(speech, love, man, woman, as opposed to speaker, lover, mankind, womankind,
for example).  Anyway, triconsonantal language are my favorite type of
language by far (I haven't dared yet to try quadraconsonantal), so I can't
wait to hear more.
