Affixation is used to derive the stative, agent, and patient nominalizations of a verb (to fly becomes flight, that which flies, and that which is flown), as well as the past and present participle adjectivizations of a verb (to fly becomes flown and flying)
When an illegal consonant cluster appears, it is broken up by schwa, still written as ⟨e⟩
Tense goes on the outside as a circumfix, while aspect is a preverb
is marked with the 'i⟩⟨ile circumfix. Its absence implies a noun belongs to the rational class
Possession and inalienability are marked separately (e.g. 'my brother' and 'my ball' use a different interfix)
