Okay, now you've got me going. There are enough part-of-speech-changing
suffixes in Rhean that I'm giving them their own chapter in the grammar
website. Here's a few:
>- a concrete representation of the action
The suffixes from my earlier post: -ut, -ud, -o, -0, ed, -uk, -ad
>- an abstract reflection of the action
The infinitive -ak / -ek
>- a person that carries out the action
-nok / -nik
>- an object or tool that carries out the action
-c'ik
>- a place where the action occurs
-ukhaz (also suffixed to other nouns)
>- a person or object that results from the action
Don't have one of those, other than a passive adjective -abza / -ibza which
can be nominalised to mean "one which is ...ed"
>- collective nouns generated from actions
-abzad / -ibzad
>Gevey is quite happy generating actions from objects or descriptions too
Is there a website for Gevey? And how do you pronounce "Gevey"? My English
bias makes me want to say ["gEvi] or ["gEvei].
