Morphemes
[edit | edit source]If you set në before a verb, it becomes negative, but only on action toward people, so not to jump, but to believe, de nëtrafe to unbelieve. There are no other negative makers than në
To put -like, like Childlike, you say lix. So Kenaðlix. And again, this is only applied for nouns, but then it becomes an adverb and endings apply to it.
