Etymology
Etymology of Creation: ɑǂʄɑ -> ǂʄɔ seemed the best way to me to match the sound change of syme to sem. The ɑ -> ɔ moves in the same manner as a -> ɛ and just drops the other sound, ɪ. While the ɪ is the second sound in that case, it seems the subsidiary sound to me. And it seems like the initial vowel would be the subsidiary sound in this case. Notes
ǂʄɔ is an affix denoting that something is given to or done for someone. It is used in the instance when a word must be modified but is not the main verb, subject, or object of a sentence. It can also be added as a root to other words. In sentence construction, it must come between the related words, so it is not set as a prefix or a suffix.
