Most of them are "standard" (pron. = pronoun; n. = noun; n.s.acc. =
neuter/singular/accusative) otherwise, we make them up (like pros. =
prosecutory verbal mood, which I made up for the example).
To my knowledge, there is no definitive list; though most
dictionaries, grammar books or linguistics texts have such lists.
On the other hand, if you're making up words because you don't know
the "right" or proper terms, be sure to explain as well as you can
what you mean.
