=Mnakhao ih'peraere - Number System=
The following are the cardinal numerals in Rihan:
(0 - '''lliu''')
(1 - '''hwi''')
(2 - '''kre''')
(3 - '''sei''')
(4 - '''mne''')
(5 - '''rhi''')
(6 - '''fve''')
(7 - '''lli''')
(8 - '''the''')
(9 - '''lhi''')
(10 - '''dha''')
(100 - '''khu''')
The above are the basic cardinal numbers; all other cardinal numbers are derived from the above; tens and hundreds derived from the above bases by a vowel change, as listed following:
(20 - '''kra''')
(30 - '''seha''')
(40 - '''mnha''')
(50 - '''rha''')
(60 - '''fvha''')
(70 - '''lla''')
(80 - '''thha''')
(90 - '''lha''')
(200 - '''kru''')
(300 - '''sehu''')
(400 - '''mnhu''')
(500 - '''rhu''')
(600 - '''fvhu''')
(700 - '''llu''')
(800 - '''thhu''')
(900 - '''lhu''')
Numbers from eleven to ninety-nine are formed in a regular manner as illustrated by the following examples:
(32 - '''seha'kre''')
(53 - '''rha'sei''')
(69 - '''fvha'lhi''')
Numbers from 101 to 999 are also formed regularly:
(367 - '''sehu-fvha'lli''')
(442 - '''mnhu-mnha'kre''')
(980 - '''lhu-thha''')
The word for "thousand" is '''dhei'''. Its use is quite regular, too, however its regularity is quite different from English.
(1000 - '''hwi dhei''')
(1111 - '''hwi dhei khu-dha'hwi''')
(2000 - '''kre dhei''')
(43 269 - '''mnha'sei dhei fvhu-kra'sei''')
(365 201 - '''sehu-fvha'rhi dhei kru'hwi''')
The illustration above may give the impression that '''dhei''' functions almost identically to English "thousand", however, this is not the case, as its function is to represent any group of three zeroes. Millions and numbers larger are also expressed using '''dhei''', like this:
(1 million - '''hwi kre-dhei''')
(2 million - '''kre kre-dhei''')
It can be noted above that "one million" is formed as "two dheis" - meaning something akin to "one two-groups-of-three-zeroes", which is exactly what a million is - a one followed by three zeroes. Further examples follow:
(10 million - '''dha kre-dhei''')
(1 billion - '''hwi sei-dhei''')
(93 trillion - '''lha'sei mnhe-dhei''')
Fractions are formed with the particle '''erh'''', with the denominator first, for example '''seha erh'lli''' means "seven thirtieths."
The decimal point is represented by the word '''errah''', with numbers after the decimal point pronounced separately. "3.1415" would be rendered as '''sei errah hwi mne hwi rhi'''.
Ordinal numbers are formed from cardinals as adjectives are formed from nouns, with the affix-set '''nu'''-...-'''r''', e.g. '''nuhwir''', "first", '''nudha'lhir''', "nineteenth", and so on.
Adverbs indicating a number of occasions are formed regularly with the prefix '''caehh''''-, with the exception of "once", which is '''joaie'''. The others are all, however, formed regularly: '''caehh'kre''', "twice", '''caehh'kru-kra'kre''', "222 times", etc.

=Sien - Time / Hveith - Calendar=
==Sien - Time==
The Rihannsu, as the records of The Arrival state, were extremely lucky when they stumbled upon the Eisn system. The ch'Rihan/ch'Havran pair revolve around Eisn in a very stable orbit, a few degrees off from the 'horizontal' plane. There is very little wobble in their path, and it is less elipsoidal than the Terra/Luna pair which results in less drastic season changes throughout the year.
The two bodies orbit Eisn once every 380 days, as per ch'Rihan's day cycle. Being a decimal (base-10) oriented culture, the day was broken into hours, minutes, and seconds based on factors of ten. In order to maintain some consistency with existing time standards carried from Vulcan (they wanted a 'second' to approximate what they were used to as much as possible), the day was broken up thusly:
    * 1 Year = 380 days
    * 1 Day = 16 hours
    * 1 hour = 100 minutes
    * 1 minute = 100 seconds
For reference, the Rihan 'minute' is equal to 55 Terran seconds, and the Rihan Second is only a few micro-seconds off from the Vulcan Second. Following these comparisons, the Rihan day is approximately 27 Terran minutes longer than Terra's, and the Rihan year is just under 22 days longer than a terran year.
Empirical time is constant throughout the Empire, based on the offical clock as positioned in the Empire's capital, Ra'tleihfhi, on ch'Rihan. There are no timezones, however other occupied planets do maintain 'local times' based on the particular planet's orbital/time system. All clocks and time-display devices are synchronized to Empirical Time as well however, to assure consistency.
==Hveith - Calendar==
As with most cultures that divide their year into 'months' based on seasonal patterns or orbitting bodies, the Rihan Month system is based on the orbital path of the ch'Rihan/ch'Havran pair, which completes a full cycle every 20 days. Therefore, the Rihan year is divided into 19 months, each consisting of two ten-day 'weeks'. Since seasonal changes are minimal on the homeworlds throughout the year (a fluctuation of +/- 12° celsius on average between their 'winter' and 'summer'), months are determined by the orbital path of ch'Rihan's sister-moon, ch'Havran, and where it appears in the sky. The first week of the month, Eisn appears higher in the sky than ch'Havran, and lower in the second week (coincidently, using Eisn as reference from ch'Havran, the same holds true on ch'Havran: Eisn will appear 'higher' in the sky than ch'Rihan, and vice-versa). The first day of a new month is easily noticed on ch'Rihan's capital city, since it involves a partial eclipse that lasts a couple of hours during the day. The months and weeks are named thusly:
    * First Month of Fire '''Khaidoa nuhwir s'Okhala''' (Fire representing the warmth and light of Summer)

==Taekhosir - Nouns==
Rihan nouns decline for case and number. There are two numbers, singular and plural, and three cases: Nominative-Accusative (also sometimes called 'common'), Genitive (possessive) and Dative (indirect object).
The Nominative-Accusative is used for both subject and direct object; the difference can be easily discerned by context, as Rihannsu has a fixed Verb-Object-Subject or Subject-Verb-Object word order; if no subject is present, the order is Verb-Object, and if no object is present, the order is Subject-Verb. An exception is the imperative: the object of the imperative always immediately precedes the imperative verb.
There are four regular declensions of nouns in Rihan, one for proper nouns and three for common nouns.
Proper nouns decline thusly:

{|
Note, that before the -su or -su'ri suffix, a final 'n' or 'm' is doubled.
{|
There are some special prefixes used only with proper nouns. These prefixes cannot be used with common nouns.
{|
*'''e-''' : Common prefix indicating departure from one's hfihar (used in second name). For example, if a certain Galan i-Mhiessan tr'Khellian were to marry a t'Lhoell woman, his name would change to Galan e-Khellian tr'Lhoell - the married name generally replaces the locative second name. Optionally, the locative can remain (often used on formal documents or formal situations), giving a name such as Galan i-Mhiessan e-Khellian tr'Lhoell. However, if the male in question is hru'Hfirh of his hfihar, he does not take this name, because as hru'Hfirh, he cannot leave his hfihar. The case of a male hru'Hfirh marrying is one of the few cases where a woman would leave her hfihar, and in such a case it would be the woman who takes the "e-" second name. Marriage is the most common way of leaving one's house, but there are other situations in which a name such as this would be used. If Galan tr'Khellian were adopted or fostered into s'Lhoell, his name would be as described above - Galan e'Khellian tr'Lhoell. Although becoming outcast from one's hfihar is another way of leaving it, in that case the use of this name would be unacceptable, as this form of name refers to an honourable departure from one's hfihar. The outcast individual becomes an unperson in Romulan society, and would simply be called Galan, or in the unlikely event that clarification would be necessary, Galan i-Mhiessan, however this is unlikely to happen, either, as most Romulans would commit suicide almost immediately upon becoming outcast.
{|
*'''ei-''' : If the person is from a specific part of a city, this is used; or, Common elder-name prefix (used in second name); also used when one changes names due to an important event. If Galan i-Mhiessan tr'Khellian was riov of a warship in a victorious battle in the Usubau system, for example, he may decide to change his name to Galan ei-Usubau tr'Khellian. In formal situations and on formal documents, his full name would be listed as Galan i-Mhiessan ei-Usubau tr'Khellian. One could have several "ei-" form names, in fact, but would generally use only the one most appropriate to a given situation.
{|
*'''i-''' : This is a very common locative-name prefix indicating that the person was born in the city (not town or village) named.
{|
*'''ir-''' : This is another very common locative-name prefix, differing from "i-" in that it indicates the person's origin as being from the district, province or planet indicated. If the person in question is from a town or village, he would use this prefix with the name of the district or province in which his town is located. If he is from an unincorporated area of a planet, he would use the planet name with this prefix.
{|
*'''S'-''' : Male honorific prefix, used very commonly in older (Vulcan) firstnames.
{|
*'''t'-''' : Female clan name prefix (used in third name).
{|
*'''T'-''' : Female honorific prefix, used very commonly in older (Vulcan) firstnames.
{|
*'''tr'-''': Male clan name prefix (used in third name)
{|
Common nouns - that is, everything besides proper names - fall into three groups, based on the ending of the root (Nom-Acc) form of the verb.
{|
*Group I nouns are those which end in -i or -e;
{|
*Group II nouns are those which end in -a, -o or -u;
{|
*Group III nouns are those ending in a consonant sound.
{|
Common nouns are declined as follows:

==I'hhaemn'iut'hilledh Taekhosen - Derivation of Nouns==
Nouns can be derived from other words in several ways, notably
{|
*from verbs, with the suffix '''-elh''', to create a deverbal noun, e.g. '''plhere'elh''', "entrance (place to enter)" from the verb '''plhere''', "to enter";
{|
*from verbs, with the suffix '''-sam''', to create a deverbal noun, similar to -elh above;
{| 
*from verbs, with the suffix '''-(i)fv''', to create a deverbal noun, similar to -elh and -sam above. The i is inserted if the verb-root ends in a consonant; from verbs, with the prefix '''tem-''', to create an action noun, e.g. '''templhere''', "entry, entrance (act of entering)";
{|
*from verbs, with the suffix '''-lai''', to create an action noun, similar to tem- above;
{|   
*from verbs, using the affix-set '''i- ... -edh''', to create an "-tion"/"-sion" noun, e.g. '''ivuinedh''', "permission" from the verb '''vhuin''', "to permit, to allow";
{|   
*from verbs, using the suffix '''-nen''', to create an agent - one who does the activity specified by the verb, e.g. '''kholhnen''', "defender"; the same can be created with the suffix '''-asi (kholhasi)''', this is a more poetic form, however. Further rarely-used or poetic ways of forming the agent include the prefixes '''ra'-, ro-''' and '''la-''' or the suffix '''-an''';
{|   
*from verbs, using the affix-set '''la- ... -(e)ri''', to create a noun which is the object of the root verb, e.g. '''larhudheri''', "employee", from the verb '''rhudh''', "to employ, to use" (The e is dropped if the verb root ends in e or a. Meaning the same thing is the suffix '''-hai''', but this is less-commonly encountered than the ra-...-eri affix set;
{|   
*from nouns, with the suffix '''-asi''' or '''-a''', forming an agentive;
{| 
*from nouns, with the suffix '''-ma''', which corresponds to the English suffix "-ship";
{|   
*from nouns, with the suffix '''-'dhenn''', which corresponds to the English suffix "-y", as in "agent > agency";
{|   
*from nouns, with the prefix '''eir-''', which corresponds to the English suffix "-ate";
{|   
*from adjectives, using the suffix '''-'le''', corresponding to English "-ness", e.g. '''eiheu'le''', "calm, calmness", from the adjective '''eiheu''', "calm";
{|   
*from adjectives, using the suffix '''-sam''', corresponding to English "-ance" and "-ism";
{|   
*from adjectives, using the suffix '''-no''', corresponding to English "-ity", e.g. '''aledno''', "ability", from the adjective '''aled''', "able".
{|
There are a number of other affixes that can be used to form new nouns; these are generally affixed to other nouns, but can be added to other words too, sometimes:
{|
*'''al'-''' indicates an improvement in the root;
{| 
*'''d'-''' is an honorific, giving the meaning "grand, great" to the root;
{|   
*'''ehl'-''' indicates a loss, a lack, or a deficiency in the root;
{|   
*'''el'-''' indicates an increase in the root, or a more advanced or superior level of the root;
{|   
*'''ne-''' indicates a decrease in the root, or a less advanced or inferior level of the root;
{|   
*'''di'-''' indicates a male gender of the root (generally used only with nouns denoting living beings);
{|   
*'''ri'-''' indicates a female gender of the root;
{|   
*'''-al''' is a diminutive;
{|   
*'''-hwy''' indicates that the root is tamed, or in some way held or restrained.

Mnakhao ih'peraere - Number System

The following are the cardinal numerals in Rihan:

(0 - lliu) (1 - hwi) (2 - kre) (3 - sei) (4 - mne) (5 - rhi) (6 - fve) (7 - lli) (8 - the) (9 - lhi) (10 - dha) (100 - khu)

The above are the basic cardinal numbers; all other cardinal numbers are derived from the above; tens and hundreds derived from the above bases by a vowel change, as listed following:

(20 - kra) (30 - seha) (40 - mnha) (50 - rha) (60 - fvha) (70 - lla) (80 - thha) (90 - lha) (200 - kru) (300 - sehu) (400 - mnhu) (500 - rhu) (600 - fvhu) (700 - llu) (800 - thhu) (900 - lhu)

Numbers from eleven to ninety-nine are formed in a regular manner as illustrated by the following examples:

(32 - seha'kre) (53 - rha'sei) (69 - fvha'lhi)

Numbers from 101 to 999 are also formed regularly:

(367 - sehu-fvha'lli) (442 - mnhu-mnha'kre) (980 - lhu-thha)

The word for "thousand" is dhei. Its use is quite regular, too, however its regularity is quite different from English.

(1000 - hwi dhei) (1111 - hwi dhei khu-dha'hwi) (2000 - kre dhei) (43 269 - mnha'sei dhei fvhu-kra'sei) (365 201 - sehu-fvha'rhi dhei kru'hwi)

The illustration above may give the impression that dhei functions almost identically to English "thousand", however, this is not the case, as its function is to represent any group of three zeroes. Millions and numbers larger are also expressed using dhei, like this:

(1 million - hwi kre-dhei) (2 million - kre kre-dhei)

It can be noted above that "one million" is formed as "two dheis" - meaning something akin to "one two-groups-of-three-zeroes", which is exactly what a million is - a one followed by three zeroes. Further examples follow:

(10 million - dha kre-dhei) (1 billion - hwi sei-dhei) (93 trillion - lha'sei mnhe-dhei)

Fractions are formed with the particle erh', with the denominator first, for example seha erh'lli means "seven thirtieths."

The decimal point is represented by the word errah, with numbers after the decimal point pronounced separately. "3.1415" would be rendered as sei errah hwi mne hwi rhi.

Ordinal numbers are formed from cardinals as adjectives are formed from nouns, with the affix-set nu-...-r, e.g. nuhwir, "first", nudha'lhir, "nineteenth", and so on.

Adverbs indicating a number of occasions are formed regularly with the prefix caehh'-, with the exception of "once", which is joaie. The others are all, however, formed regularly: caehh'kre, "twice", caehh'kru-kra'kre, "222 times", etc.

Sien - Time / Hveith - Calendar

Sien - Time

The Rihannsu, as the records of The Arrival state, were extremely lucky when they stumbled upon the Eisn system. The ch'Rihan/ch'Havran pair revolve around Eisn in a very stable orbit, a few degrees off from the 'horizontal' plane. There is very little wobble in their path, and it is less elipsoidal than the Terra/Luna pair which results in less drastic season changes throughout the year.

The two bodies orbit Eisn once every 380 days, as per ch'Rihan's day cycle. Being a decimal (base-10) oriented culture, the day was broken into hours, minutes, and seconds based on factors of ten. In order to maintain some consistency with existing time standards carried from Vulcan (they wanted a 'second' to approximate what they were used to as much as possible), the day was broken up thusly: 

   * 1 Year = 380 days
   * 1 Day = 16 hours
   * 1 hour = 100 minutes
   * 1 minute = 100 seconds

For reference, the Rihan 'minute' is equal to 55 Terran seconds, and the Rihan Second is only a few micro-seconds off from the Vulcan Second. Following these comparisons, the Rihan day is approximately 27 Terran minutes longer than Terra's, and the Rihan year is just under 22 days longer than a terran year.

Empirical time is constant throughout the Empire, based on the offical clock as positioned in the Empire's capital, Ra'tleihfhi, on ch'Rihan. There are no timezones, however other occupied planets do maintain 'local times' based on the particular planet's orbital/time system. All clocks and time-display devices are synchronized to Empirical Time as well however, to assure consistency.

Hveith - Calendar

As with most cultures that divide their year into 'months' based on seasonal patterns or orbitting bodies, the Rihan Month system is based on the orbital path of the ch'Rihan/ch'Havran pair, which completes a full cycle every 20 days. Therefore, the Rihan year is divided into 19 months, each consisting of two ten-day 'weeks'. Since seasonal changes are minimal on the homeworlds throughout the year (a fluctuation of +/- 12° celsius on average between their 'winter' and 'summer'), months are determined by the orbital path of ch'Rihan's sister-moon, ch'Havran, and where it appears in the sky. The first week of the month, Eisn appears higher in the sky than ch'Havran, and lower in the second week (coincidently, using Eisn as reference from ch'Havran, the same holds true on ch'Havran: Eisn will appear 'higher' in the sky than ch'Rihan, and vice-versa). The first day of a new month is easily noticed on ch'Rihan's capital city, since it involves a partial eclipse that lasts a couple of hours during the day. The months and weeks are named thusly: 

   * First Month of Fire Khaidoa nuhwir s'Okhala (Fire representing the warmth and light of Summer)
         o First Week Dhaei nuhwir (Day 1-10)
         o Second Week Dhaei nukrer (Day 11-20)
   
   * Second Month of Fire Khaidoa nukrer s'Okhala
         o First Week Dhaei nuhwir (Day 21-30)
         o Second Week Dhaei nukrer (Day 31-40)
   
   * Third Month of Fire Khaidoa nuseir s'Okhala
         o First Week Dhaei nuhwir (Day 41-50)
         o Second Week Dhaei nukrer (Day 51-60)
   
   * Fourth Month of Fire Khaidoa numner s'Okhala
         o First Week Dhaei nuhwir (Day 61-70)

Fvullhanhir - Substantives

Taekhosir - Nouns

Rihan nouns decline for case and number. There are two numbers, singular and plural, and three cases: Nominative-Accusative (also sometimes called 'common'), Genitive (possessive) and Dative (indirect object).

The Nominative-Accusative is used for both subject and direct object; the difference can be easily discerned by context, as Rihannsu has a fixed Verb-Object-Subject or Subject-Verb-Object word order; if no subject is present, the order is Verb-Object, and if no object is present, the order is Subject-Verb. An exception is the imperative: the object of the imperative always immediately precedes the imperative verb.

There are four regular declensions of nouns in Rihan, one for proper nouns and three for common nouns.

Proper nouns decline thusly:

Singular Plural Example: Singular Plural
Nominative-Accusative (-ha) -su "a Romulan" Rihanha Rihannsu
Genitive s'- ch- s'Rihan ch'Rihan
Dative -(h)'ri -su'ri Rihanh'ri Rihannsu'ri
Note, that before the -su or -su'ri suffix, a final 'n' or 'm' is doubled.
There are some special prefixes used only with proper nouns. These prefixes cannot be used with common nouns.
  • e- : Common prefix indicating departure from one's hfihar (used in second name). For example, if a certain Galan i-Mhiessan tr'Khellian were to marry a t'Lhoell woman, his name would change to Galan e-Khellian tr'Lhoell - the married name generally replaces the locative second name. Optionally, the locative can remain (often used on formal documents or formal situations), giving a name such as Galan i-Mhiessan e-Khellian tr'Lhoell. However, if the male in question is hru'Hfirh of his hfihar, he does not take this name, because as hru'Hfirh, he cannot leave his hfihar. The case of a male hru'Hfirh marrying is one of the few cases where a woman would leave her hfihar, and in such a case it would be the woman who takes the "e-" second name. Marriage is the most common way of leaving one's house, but there are other situations in which a name such as this would be used. If Galan tr'Khellian were adopted or fostered into s'Lhoell, his name would be as described above - Galan e'Khellian tr'Lhoell. Although becoming outcast from one's hfihar is another way of leaving it, in that case the use of this name would be unacceptable, as this form of name refers to an honourable departure from one's hfihar. The outcast individual becomes an unperson in Romulan society, and would simply be called Galan, or in the unlikely event that clarification would be necessary, Galan i-Mhiessan, however this is unlikely to happen, either, as most Romulans would commit suicide almost immediately upon becoming outcast.
  • ei- : If the person is from a specific part of a city, this is used; or, Common elder-name prefix (used in second name); also used when one changes names due to an important event. If Galan i-Mhiessan tr'Khellian was riov of a warship in a victorious battle in the Usubau system, for example, he may decide to change his name to Galan ei-Usubau tr'Khellian. In formal situations and on formal documents, his full name would be listed as Galan i-Mhiessan ei-Usubau tr'Khellian. One could have several "ei-" form names, in fact, but would generally use only the one most appropriate to a given situation.
  • i- : This is a very common locative-name prefix indicating that the person was born in the city (not town or village) named.
  • ir- : This is another very common locative-name prefix, differing from "i-" in that it indicates the person's origin as being from the district, province or planet indicated. If the person in question is from a town or village, he would use this prefix with the name of the district or province in which his town is located. If he is from an unincorporated area of a planet, he would use the planet name with this prefix.
  • S'- : Male honorific prefix, used very commonly in older (Vulcan) firstnames.
  • t'- : Female clan name prefix (used in third name).
  • T'- : Female honorific prefix, used very commonly in older (Vulcan) firstnames.
  • tr'-: Male clan name prefix (used in third name)
Common nouns - that is, everything besides proper names - fall into three groups, based on the ending of the root (Nom-Acc) form of the verb.
  • Group I nouns are those which end in -i or -e;
  • Group II nouns are those which end in -a, -o or -u;
  • Group III nouns are those ending in a consonant sound.
Common nouns are declined as follows:
Group I
Case Singular Plural Example: Singular Plural
Nominative-Accusative -- -in "arrival" oali oaliin
Genitive -n -en oalin oalien
Dative -vha -vher oalivha oalivher
Group II
Case Singular Plural Example: Singular Plural
Nominative-Accusative -- -r "device" aisha aishar
Genitive -m -(')en aisham aisha'en
Dative -vha -vher aishavha aishavher
Group III
Case Singular Plural Example: Singular Plural
Nominative-Accusative -- -ir "road, way" latas latasir
Genitive -ai -en latasai latasen
Dative -evha -evher latasevha latasevher

I'hhaemn'iut'hilledh Taekhosen - Derivation of Nouns

Nouns can be derived from other words in several ways, notably

  • from verbs, with the suffix -elh, to create a deverbal noun, e.g. plhere'elh, "entrance (place to enter)" from the verb plhere, "to enter";
  • from verbs, with the suffix -sam, to create a deverbal noun, similar to -elh above;
  • from verbs, with the suffix -(i)fv, to create a deverbal noun, similar to -elh and -sam above. The i is inserted if the verb-root ends in a consonant; from verbs, with the prefix tem-, to create an action noun, e.g. templhere, "entry, entrance (act of entering)";
  • from verbs, with the suffix -lai, to create an action noun, similar to tem- above;
  • from verbs, using the affix-set i- ... -edh, to create an "-tion"/"-sion" noun, e.g. ivuinedh, "permission" from the verb vhuin, "to permit, to allow";
  • from verbs, using the suffix -nen, to create an agent - one who does the activity specified by the verb, e.g. kholhnen, "defender"; the same can be created with the suffix -asi (kholhasi), this is a more poetic form, however. Further rarely-used or poetic ways of forming the agent include the prefixes ra'-, ro- and la- or the suffix -an;
  • from verbs, using the affix-set la- ... -(e)ri, to create a noun which is the object of the root verb, e.g. larhudheri, "employee", from the verb rhudh, "to employ, to use" (The e is dropped if the verb root ends in e or a. Meaning the same thing is the suffix -hai, but this is less-commonly encountered than the ra-...-eri affix set;
  • from nouns, with the suffix -asi or -a, forming an agentive;
  • from nouns, with the suffix -ma, which corresponds to the English suffix "-ship";
  • from nouns, with the suffix -'dhenn, which corresponds to the English suffix "-y", as in "agent > agency";
  • from nouns, with the prefix eir-, which corresponds to the English suffix "-ate";
  • from adjectives, using the suffix -'le, corresponding to English "-ness", e.g. eiheu'le, "calm, calmness", from the adjective eiheu, "calm";
  • from adjectives, using the suffix -sam, corresponding to English "-ance" and "-ism";
  • from adjectives, using the suffix -no, corresponding to English "-ity", e.g. aledno, "ability", from the adjective aled, "able".
There are a number of other affixes that can be used to form new nouns; these are generally affixed to other nouns, but can be added to other words too, sometimes:
  • al'- indicates an improvement in the root;
  • d'- is an honorific, giving the meaning "grand, great" to the root;
  • ehl'- indicates a loss, a lack, or a deficiency in the root;
  • el'- indicates an increase in the root, or a more advanced or superior level of the root;
  • ne- indicates a decrease in the root, or a less advanced or inferior level of the root;
  • di'- indicates a male gender of the root (generally used only with nouns denoting living beings);
  • ri'- indicates a female gender of the root;
  • -al is a diminutive;
  • -hwy indicates that the root is tamed, or in some way held or restrained.
