They can be divided into Finite Verbs, with 144 permutations (VOICE x PERSON x MOOD x NUMBER x ASPECT), and Non-finite Verbs, with 5 permutations (FORM).


Class, element, density, composition, classifier, formality, and state are exclusive to nouns; voice, person, mood, number, gender, and aspect to verbs; and effect and amplitude to appositions.
There are 2592 permutations to Prediluvian Nouns (<small>CLASS</small>x<small>ELEMENT</small>x<small>DENSITY</small>x<small>COMPOSITION</small>x<small>STATE</small>), 24 permutations to Postdiluvian Nouns (<small>CLASSIFIER</small>x<small>FORMALITY</small>x<small>STATE</small>), and 2 permutations to Edenic Nouns (<small>STATE</small>)
finitive verbs (VOICExPERSONxNUMBERxASPECT)
while definition is dropped in pronouns.  The result is 108 permutations known to reduce grammatical functions thanks to a trio of particles (''i'', ''u'', and ''a'') specialized in capturing meaning. Vide:
