In Pkhén, you can make long words by stringing them together. Here are some examples:| Word I | Word II | Full Word | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| ghá' | tɔ́ɔ́shí̠' | ghá'h̠a-tɔ́ɔ́shí̠' | dog eating |
| zholéé | pó̠p | zholééh̠a-pó̠p | a good kisser |
| ree' | í̠rhanar | ree'h̠a-í̠rhanar | a believer in God |
| gro̠o̠b | býýdh | gro̠o̠bh̠a-býýdh | garden-drinker |
As these examples show, these words generally give adjectives but can also be verbs.
They are formed by getting the English phrase (eg dog eating), putting the verb in the PTCPParticiple
adjectival form of a verb-PREPresent form first, and then the NOMNominative (case)
TRANS subject, INTR argument noun after dashed.
This can be extended, allowing for words such as ri̠i̠rýkhǽh̠a-vakhnɛ́gru-zhɛɛh̠o̠o̠svyyqcrazy (lit. gun-taking-insane). As you can see, this is formed by using the above rules to make the word gun-grabbing, and then affixing on the word crazy.
Note that, as adjectives are treated as TERTertiary.WEAWeak verbs, this can then be used as a verb. For example, the sentence Ri̠i̠rýkhǽh̠a-vakhnɛ́gru-zhɛɛh̠o̠o̠svyyqlɛɛglɛ́kkhæ'edhaliI am crazy.
