There is a distinction between inalienable and alienable possession: the former uses -yl and the latter uses -ol.
There are three tenses in Phormatolidin: past, non-past and gnomic. The non-past ending is -phen (related to the Clofabosin agentive -fen), and the past ending is -zole. The gnomic ending is -til, cognate to the gnomic attributive ending -tril in Clofabosin.
