Inversion is the process of swapping the noun and the verb within a word-clause. Many of the examples given above are inversions of another given example.  

For example, to invert the word-clause '''''keejami''''' "the dog eats", the noun '''k_j_m_''' "dog" becomes the corresponding verb '''_uu_o_i''' "be a dog" and the verb '''_ee_a_i''' "to eat" becomes the noun '''x_n_m_''' "eater". This produces '''xuunomi''' "the one that eats is a dog". Inversion usually results in radically differently looking words with an often fairly subtle shift in pragmatic meaning.
