Each primary case has two corresponding secondary cases: a ''partitive'' case formed by adding ''ng'' (such as ''-ing-'' for the partitive dative or ''-erng-'' for the partitive elative) and a corresponding ''qualitative'' case formed by adding ''m''. | Each primary case has two corresponding secondary cases: a ''partitive'' case formed by adding ''ng'' (such as ''-ing-'' for the partitive dative or ''-erng-'' for the partitive elative) and a corresponding ''qualitative'' case formed by adding ''m''. | ||

Every action denoted by a word stem is considered a flow of information that comes from a source (sender), transports a content, and reaches a sink (a recipient). The terms "sender" and "recipient" may be more familiar, but "source" and "sink" are more accurate in not necessarily meaning living beings. | |||
Consequently, a Lemizh action looks somewhat like this: '''nominative <span style="background: #ffc000; padding-bottom: 3px"> accusative</span>[[File:DreieckYellowMIDDLE.png|26px|link=]] dative''' | |||
This is called the action's ''plot''. Here are some examples: | |||

| ''wàx.'' "speak, tell" || ''wèx.'' "the one telling something" || ''wỳx.'' "the tale" || ''wìx.'' "the one who is told it" | |||

;The Legend of the Seventh Planet | |||
A long time ago there was a tribe of nomads. They possessed neither writing nor houses nor horses. But they were truly human. They were curious; this means, above all, that they took interest in the useless, for the celestial objects were of no use to them yet. They looked at the Sun and the Moon. They had named the constellations and the six planets moving across the sky like the humans across the earth. They knew dim Mercury, who liked to hide in the glare of the Sun; Venus, the brightest of all; reddish and angry Mars; majestic father Jupiter; Saturn, who seemed to stand still for weeks; and even Uranus had been caught by their keen eyes. Six planets, and the legend of a seventh. Maybe it had been the minor planet Vesta, or a comet centuries or millennia earlier. Maybe it was the attraction of the number seven. For Neptune is invisible to the naked eye. | A long time ago there was a tribe of nomads. They possessed neither writing nor houses nor horses. But they were truly human.

One youngster thought to himself that he could not live without seeing the seventh planet. He lay awake searching the sky for many nights, neglected his duties, and became thinner and thinner. And one night, lying with the Earth behind his back, and with the looping planets and the stars above him, he saw the depth of the sky and the planets circling the Sun, and among them the Earth. | One youngster thought to himself that he could not live without seeing the seventh planet.
