Auxiliary derivative particle

cì

1. It indicates a passive relationship between both words, for example, before a verb it converts it into a passive or participle form (that has been affected by the action, not that it does the action), While before the cardinals are converted into ordinal adjectives, it also serves as a functional disambiguator, that is, it marks which is the word that it modifies and not the one that is the nucleus, for example, in two adverbs where one modifies the other or in two nouns where one of the two nouns is behaving like an adjective and even it can be placed before a verb to form a participial relative clause, allowing its use as the subject or as a definite complement within the sentence.
