Lalakhmet

General Information
Lalakhmet (also known as Proto-Lalakhi) is an a priori lang. Its descendents will speak in (constate for Nomidian) where Nomidian is spoken.

Roots
Lalakhi grammar is based upon roots which then form words (khan- means food, to eat, to be full, contently lazy, full, &c). Each root has various related meanings depending on its part of speech and form thereof.

The root is taken, and suffixes and/or prefixes are added thereto to create verbs and nouns (suffixes are used to decline/conjugate the stem whereas prefixes are used to change the meaning of the root). However, not all roots share the same declensional/conjugational paradigm. For example, khan- utilizes a u-stem conjugation and a neuter ō-stem declension.

Verbial
Verbs conjugate to __ things: person, number, voice, and tense.

There are the first, second, third, and fifth persons and the singular, paucle, and plural numbers. The fifth person is equivalent to one in English or on in French, i.e. anyone, everyone, or humanity in general. The paucle can be a small group of two or three give or take as well as partative numbers (such as 1/2 or 2 5/6).

There are two voices which verbs conjugate to: active and passive. There are two others, middle and mediopassive, which are not conjugated for. The middle voice is a reflexive verb which is formed by putting the clitic s'/he' in front of the root. The mediopassive, however, depicts a verb which is both reflexive and middle simultaneously: meaning that the subject of the verb is becoming the verb because of an outside factor.

Tense is fairly large: there is the simple past, past perfect, pluperfect, future past, simple future, future perfect, conditional, conditional past, and the conditional perfect. The simple past and future are tenses that represent the past/future in general (often interpreted as the "imperfect," but it can serve as a preterite as well); these tenses are the base tenses which almost always serve as the deictic center of events. Perfect tenses are those which depict an event which happened at an earlier (past perfects) or later (future/conditional perfects) time and is still going on and/or has relevence to the event at its point in time. The conditionals describe events that may happen in the future: the conditional past is an event that would be perfect if it were to happen, and the conditional perfect is a conditional that would happen as a result of another conditional.

Ideas:
 * Adjectives with degrees of connotativeness (heinous, bad, neutral, good, glorious) and voice (positive/negative, active/passive) with comparativeness made with another specifically declining adjective
 * Roots be at the base with verbs, noun, and adjectives being formed therefrom
