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
