Nouns and verbs
Example verb "ana", "live": The verb "live" can also be expressed by the verb "anak' a", "to be living" Naqan is an agglunative language. For example naqhamat' (Naqan language) consists of the root -naq- (people), construct suffix -a-, and the root mat' (language). The noun c'x'ap'q (child) is formed of the root -c'x'- (man) and the root -ap'q- (small). Verbs can also be agglunated, for example vtaqhaq'aeno (he lives well) is formed of the class prefix v- (masculine), root -taqh- (good), suffix -aq'- (adverb marker), umlauted root -aen- (live), and the -o ending. The similar phrases can be said as zac'x'a taqhaq'aeno (this man lives well), taqhanuh'an vo (his life is good), zac'x'oh'anuh' taqh vo (this man's life is good) vtaqhaq'anak' vo (he is living well), or zac'x'a taqhaq'anak' vo (this man is living well). Now we'll analyze those examples.

It is also a pro-drop language. The pronoun is seldom used, but is always used in 4th person.

If the owner noun's last sound is q, it is aspirated.

If the possessed noun's beginning sound is a vowel, the suffix is -ah'-

If the owner noun's last sound is a vowel, the suffix is -h'a-.

If the suffix is placed between two vowels, it becomes -h'ah'-.
