Adjectives formed from noun roots must be marked with the affix — yu

Adjectives formed from adverb roots must be marked with the affix — yau

Adverbs
Adverbs formed from nouns and adjectives must be marked with the affix — us.

Verbs
Verbs declines according to tense and according to persons ; There is only participle as mood ; it for this reason that :


 * Conditional is expressed by the future tense
