relay 1: Czevraqis vocbulary details, 1/3

(I realize mine hasn't been posted yet, but Jesse asked.  :-p)

(Outdated, probably archaic) paradigm:

verb: C_CaCu
adj:  C_CiCu
noun: CeC_Ca

   verb/adj   infix       noun
======================================
generic       -e-   state
causative     -ae-  doer (professional)
instrumental  -a-   tool
habitual      -ai-  doer (casual)
intensive     -o-   emphatic
attenuative   -i-   diminutive

(I'll post the new one sometime when I have things ironed out...like
relative clauses.  Grr.)

Words given in (generic) verb form, since I consider that as close as the
"root" as you can get and the infixed forms are fairly nicely predictable.
   Verbs do have a dynamic/static distinction that appears in conjugation
into present/past forms.  The noun forms can sometimes be idiosyncratic.
