ha yes... i'm actually prepared for this... in order to make a verb
into a noun that refers to a person who does the action in question
you would first add an "a" (signifying plurality)and then add an "n"
after than to make it singular
tevil= to eat
tevila= eaters
tevilan= eater
or
thetre= to laugh
thetrea= laughers (people who are laughing... i don't know if this is
used in english)
thetrean= laugher (person who is laughing... same comment as above)

but in order to say food/"eats" (though not necessarily cheap) or
laughter it would follow the rule of reduplication of the first
consonant with a vowel following it prefixed to the
stem/root/whatchamacalit (this works for some verbs and all
adjectives at the moment)so:

tetevil= food
hethetre= laughter

i'm not sure if i explained that very well (it does all make sense in
my mind... well somewhere in there... you might need a flashlight and
some shovels...)
