Unlike in Nithalos, the attributive affix can also be applied to the superlative and comparative.
Verbs
Active
End in -e
Negative form: -ija (remove -e. So toroke becomes torokija)
Conjunctive form: -iję (remove -e. So toroke becomes torokiję)
Potential form: -éz (remove -e. So iste becomes istéz)
Conditional form: -ét (remove -e. So męzne becomes męznét)
Suggestive form: -im (remove -e. So iste becomes istim)
Imperative form: -u (remove -e. So toroke becomes toroku)
Relative form: +n (So toroke becomes toroken)
Aorist: +al
Past tense: +iv (remove -e. So iste becomes istiv)
Passive
Passives change the final -e to -a. For the most part the suffices are simiar:
Negative: -ja (toroka > torokaja)
Conjunctive: -ję (toroka > torokaję)
Potential: -(j)éz (toroka > torokajéz > torokajézét)
Conditional: -(j)ét (toroka > torokajét > torokajétéz)
Suggestive: -(j)im (toroka > torokajim)
Imperative: -(j)u (toroka > torokaju)
Relative: +n (toroka > torokan)
Unclear on how passives are formed. Only found one example: zrafe - zrafa
Not sure, for example, if negative passive would be zrafaja or something else.
Pronouns
1SG = ą, gen = aj
2SG = mo, acc = mú, gen = maj
3SG = kaj, zaj, éf
1PL = ąfo
3PL = éfo
Nezen has no stative case.
Kou moa adeg.
Kaj maj jątek ąre. (no accusative case required)
Numbers
There is no numerative case like in Nithalos, Numbers precede the noun they describe.
Derivation
Verbs to nouns usually drop -e, add +in.
Diminuatives add ta+ or +ta
Particle differences
