=====Agent and patient nouns=====

Agent nouns are formed with the following suffixes:

*''-a'' ~~(prefix conjugation: ''y-a'')~~ (''m.''), ''-tu'' (prefix conjugation: ''t-u'') (''f./pl.'') - e.g. ''~~sheena~~/~~sheentu~~'' "giver", ''~~yarka~~/~~tarku~~'' "seer", ''~~casa~~/~~castu~~'' "red person/thing". The verbs ''(sh)e'' "to be" and ''le'' "to have" are irregular in this regard: they attach to the previous word and use the suffix ''-e'' (for both genders) - e.g. ''bidaar(a) le'' "is bald" (literally: "has baldness") → ''bidaarle'' "bald person"

*''-aa'' (''m.''), ''-tuu'' (prefix conjugation: ''t-uu'') (''f./pl.'') - e.g. ''sheenaa/sheentuu'' "giver", ''arkaa/tarkuu'' "seer", ''casaa/castuu'' "red person/thing". The verbs ''(sh)e'' "to be" and ''le'' "to have" are irregular in this regard: they attach to the previous word and use the suffix ''-e'' (for both genders) - e.g. ''bidaar(a) le'' "is bald" (literally: "has baldness") → ''bidaarle'' "bald person"

*''-eeya'' (''m., unmarked/collective''), ''-eesha'' (''m., sg.''), ''-eeti'' (''f., sg.'') - e.g. ''sheeneesha'' "giver (''m.'')", ''arkeeti'' "seer (''f.'')", ''caseeya'' "red people/things"

Patient nouns are formed by adding agent suffixes to stative passive or to ''-am-'' passive - e.g. ''~~arkana~~'' "one who is seen (''m.'')", ''arkameeya'' "those who are seen". The two forms (i.e. stative vs ''-am-'' passive) have slightly different connotations. For example, ''~~arkana~~'' might refer to someone who is being seen at the moment, while ''~~arkama~~'' might refer to someone who is regularly seen.
