Denominalization is converting nouns into other parts of speech. | |||
==== To Verbs ==== | |||
'''Initiation''': prefix ''aw'' | |||
To say that the subject is becoming the noun, you add the prefix above to change the noun into a verb. This creates an intransitive verb. | |||
''awfoos'' - to become a cow | |||
'''Causation''': compound with ''ootawn'' | |||
To say that the subject is causing the object become the noun, compound the noun with the verb ootawn. | |||
''ootawnfoos'' - to turn into a cow, to cow-ify | |||
'''Verbing''': compound with ''osen'' | |||
To ‘verb’ a noun, that is to make a verb that means to use the noun or engage with the noun in a typical way (i.e. ‘google’ as a verb), compound the noun with the verb ''osen''. | |||
''osenraap'' – to war, to make war (literally ‘do-war’). | |||
====To Adjectives==== | |||
'''Similarity''': suffix ''ee'' | |||
To have an adjective that means having the quality of the noun, suffix ''ee'' to the end. | |||
''foosee'' - cow-like, cowish, cowy | |||
'''Association''': suffix ''ingee'' | |||
To have an adjective that means pertaining to the noun, suffix ''ingee'' to the end. This is actually creating a new noun by suffixing ''ing'', then suffixing ''ee'' to make it an adjective. | |||
