Proper and Irregular Nouns

Root words
Root words are small fragments, usually single syllables, that define the basic concepts used to create nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. Most start with a consonant and end with a vowel. Verbs often take the form of the root word itself. Below is an example of how a root word is used to create other words:

Root word: whueya (compassion/friendship)

awhueya        |  awhueyahi
noun:             |  noun:
friend             |  friends

ewhueya        |  whueyawa
noun:             |  adjective:
friendship, love |  friendly

whueyaphi    |  whueya
adverb:          |  verb:
friendly         |  befriend, love

Concepts

Nose is the middle of the face, nose is the root word for middle

Verbs

Verbs have one or more syllables, and start with a consonant. Monosyllabic verbs may end in a consonant, but polysyllabic verbs must end in a vowel. Verbs are essentially the root words which common nouns, adjectives, and adverbs can be formed.

Standard-no prefix| grade2-yi<root>| grade3-whup<root>| grade4-yiwhup<root>| grade4-yiwhupyi| 

Adjectives
