Derivational Morphology
First of all, in Jondish, there are 4 main word classes: nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, which are generated from the word root(which carries the meaning).
ROOT+ (vowel or a consonant) = noun #a noun can be a root as well, so the derivation is not present
VERB=NOUN(+-om)infinitive form #root form of a verb is identical to the noun or to the word root itself
ROOT+(-om)= VERB(inf. form)
ADJECTIVE can be formed in various ways:
1) ROOT+(-um)= ADJ.(pos.nom.sg.)
2) NOUN+(-um)= ADJ.(pos.nom.sg.)
3) VERB(root form)+(-um)= ADJ.(pos.nom.sg.)
ADVERB is formed with ADJ.(pos.nom.sg.) + -li , and it is not conjugated further.
Nouns or more precisely root words can be derived further. These are the possibilities:
| noun derivations | affix |
|---|---|
| 1.container for | ob-stem-ik |
| 2.belief | -ajll |
| 3.enough of | -bb |
| 4.too much of | leg-stem-bb |
| 5.collective | -öl |
| 6.direction of | -kael |
| 7.language | -pom |
| 8.country | -stat |
| 9.inhabitant | -llon |
| 10.city | -dorf |
| 11.tool | -iš |
| 12.process or state | -hud |
| 13.place | torf |
| 14.person | -jon |
| 15.diminutive | mir-stem-ip |
