	Compound words are connected by dropping any final '''-V(ŋ)''' and adding the '''-o-''' infix. Inflections only fall on the end of the compound word. For example, the word for seaweed: '''reng mbila''' (water+leaf) → r<s>eng</s>-o-mbila → rombila → rombiladu, etc. Burumbi also has a large number of prefixes for word formation, such as '''oubo-''' (indicating largeness and roundness) + reng: ''ouboreng'' "lake".

			====Articles====

			Nouns are automatically definite. An indefinite article, '''nka''', is used to signify non-particularity. '''Nka''' can take on the plural '''-du'''.

			There are a large number of prefixes for verbs describing movement in great detail. They address directionality, but also specific kinds of movement. In addition, they can be compounded. For example, the compound prefix '''mzondè-''' (mzo- + dè) signifies a splitting and encirclement. Words like '''mzondèmanda''', describing a group splitting up and encircling something by walking, are formed this way.
