Productive vocabulary
The language builds words with three compatible tools: free compounding, classifiers, and particles. Compounds are always modifier-head. The final element is the head.
Worked examples
maku·ma = scholar
maku·bi = book
firo·ku = ensemble
rinu·ko = courthouse
tihi = anger, passion
akuro = still pool
akudo = waterfall
irohi = redA reliable reading rule
Classifier forms only count as classifiers when they are compound-final. The same syllable in compound-initial position is interpreted as a particle instead.
