==Grammatical Structure==
All derivational affixes are prefixes, and all other affixes are suffixes excluding the adverbial marker which is an infix for historical linguistic reasons.
In regards to the order of the attaching of suffixes, case takes highest priority, followed by voice, aspect, then agreement, finally followed by any remaining suffixes.
*'''NB''': Adjectives cannot be inflected with comparative and the Gradable suffix at the same time.
