wow.... Well, the way it is done in my conlang is to put a subject marker before the verb "to create". Ng - subject marker + Yanligha - to create =3D Ng yanligha - creator (lit. the one who creates).=20 Note: when you do this with any verb the meanings are: "the one who...", "the thing that...", "the one which...", and "what is...".=20 ____________________________________________________________________ = =20 =20 "Bailando en el fuego con un gran deseo" - India = =20 =20 ____________________________________________________________________
