===Loanword Adaptation=== | |||
Approximately 92% of all word stems in Indeyivroplu originate from natural languages, with 91% of those being Indo-European. When loaning any word, research was done into its etymology in an effort to loan only the base morpheme, leading to them not always being immediately recognizable. Here are some examples: | |||
# '''ips'''- is the word stem relating to "high/height", loaned from Greek ''ψηλός'' (''psilós'') "high", but made to reflect the more basic root ''ύψος'' (''ípsos'') "height". | |||
# '''soň'''- is the word stem relating to "sleep", loaned from Spanish ''sueño'' "sleep" ''(n.)'', but made to reflect the more basic root ''soñar'', even though in Spanish it changes meaning as "to dream". | |||

Indeyivroplu implores frequent usage of agglutination. In the creation of the language, there was a preference towards forming new words using existing word stems rather than directly loaning the word when possible | Indeyivroplu implores frequent usage of agglutination.

When making compound words there is no infix inserted, so morphemes are simply placed unedited after each other, with only the final one getting inflected. | When making compound words there is no infix inserted, so morphemes are simply placed unedited after each other, with only the final one getting inflected. | ||
