logic vocabulary

I've finaly found a way to logicly represent the vocabulary roots for my
conlang and to group it logicaly

I'll class my words in boards like this


(translation)  Noun     Adjective     Transitive verbs    Intransitive verbs

Stative

Active


So words are grouped into boads and are the same root in my conlang

The distinction between the fact it is a noun, an adjective or a verb is the
the use of the differents suffixes

The distiction between a transitive or intransitive utilization is simply
the presence or not of an accusative object

The distinction between Stative and Active works with the voicing of the
consounants so in the stative form all consonants are voiced and in active
form they are not

So a board can look like this

(viz)           Noun               Adjective            Transitive verbs
    Intransitive verbs

Stative       sight                  visible                      to see
      be able to see things

Active        a look         wich can be looked        to look (at)      be
able to look things
            an observation       observable               to observe
                                                                     to
watch

(look, but not like the synonyn of "seem" like "you look tired" but only
when it is the act of watching)


So all these words are the root "viz" or "fis"

- A look: hafis
     -> definite singular article prefix(ha) + fis

- I am visible: vizjaSûiso
     -> viz + attributive suffix(jaS) + present suffix(ûis) + first person
mark (o)

- I look at you: fisûiso jajaf
     -> fis + ûis + o / pronoun prefix(j) + second person mark (a) +
accusative suffix

- I see you: vizûiso jajaf
     -> viz + ûis + o / pronoun prefix(j) + second person mark (a) +
accusative suffix


I allows me to have only voiced or voiceless consonants in the same root but
I think I'll make nasals, [l], and spanish [r] unchanged at Stative and
Active forms and it will leave me create root families that don't have any
opposite by using only these consonants



Sometime, I'll probably need to cut stative and active subjectively like


(dZaz)     Noun         Adjective          Transitive verbs
Intransitive verbs

Stative    woman   typic of women   to make a woman of   to become a woman

Active       man       typic of men        to make a man of       to become
a man


It is not discrimination or something it is only for the opposition

Maybe someone would have an other word to replace "stative" and "active" to
fit with the "woman"/"man" opposition?

What do you think of it?
