 ==Derivation==
-All lexical or content words in Kelt are compose of a root, usually with affixes that determine its nature. An individual root need not belong to a particular part of speech, for example ''ETS'' can be a noun (''etsah'' "salt"), an adjective meaning 'of or pertaining to' (''ets'' "salty") or a verb usually meaning 'to make use of' (''kiwunetsi'' "I salt it").
+Derivation of the Kelt root is carried out in one of three ways:
+# '''zero-derivation''' simply uses the root in another part of speech.
-Further derivation is carried out by (1) the addition of derivative affixes, or (2) compounding.
+# '''affixation''' uses prefixes and suffixes to alter the meaning
+# '''compounding''' joins roots or stems together to alter the meaning.
