With these 8 suffixes (ado, adox, ako, amo, ano, do, dox, no) it is possible to get unnumbered new adjectives from verbs and nouns additionally to 520 root adjectives. | With these 8 suffixes (ado, adox, ako, amo, ano, do, dox, no) it is possible to get unnumbered new adjectives from verbs and nouns additionally to 520 root adjectives. | ||
=== Antinomies of Adjectives === | |||
As stated already, the antinomies of adjectives will be generally defined by adding the suffix “x”. This has been done preferably with the pairs where in English a separate adjective available for the antinomy. This way the number of words to be memorized would be reduced considerably. For the adjectives used very often we made however some exceptions. In order to avoid a mix up which comes first, it is necessary to implement certain rules. These are: For physically quantifiable, the bigger/larger/heavier/stronger etc. is the base adjectives, the latter will get “_x“ (like: big-small: ebi-ebix; for qualitative, what people normally prefer, comes first (like: honest-false: oho-ohox; hot-cold: ovo-ovax etc.). Adjectives which are used in speech mostly shall have basic form even the foregoing stated rules implies differently. (e.g.: “eda-x” (dark- light/pale), even though “dark” implies physically “unfavorability” because “light” is used relatively seldom competed with “dark”. | |||
The suffix “_x” comes always directly after the adjective (basic or derived does not matter- e.g. ohox.ka, enux.l, minşi.do.x), followed by other derivational suffixes. | |||

Also for the numbers, the suffix “_x” meaning zero, a differing system has been created. | Also for the numbers, the suffix “_x” meaning zero, a differing system has been created. | ||

For example: The number 6 572 120 is written in ABCL: viv.lil.pik.çif.biç.çix (includes 18 letters). The same digit written in English extends to 52 letters. | |||
The system continues in such “ten” times pattern as (unary notion): | |||
Bis, biy, bim, bir, bit, biv, biş, big (quadrillion) | |||
Above that, the system follows one thousand pattern such as “bix big, biç big, bif big, bil big, biv big” etc. | |||
At the first sight it seems to be some ambiguity with some verbs, e.g. “bip” means as verb “disappear” but as number “ten million” or “bibi” means “occurring” but as number “eleven”. However, in the syntax a mix up is not possible due to the fact that the verbs are placed secondly after the subject where the numbers stay as adjectives after the verbs and before the noun they modify. (e.g.: u bibi bibi üs bi camya=It is occurring eleven times a year.) | |||
Ordinal numbers are as below: (example for 2 “çi”) | |||
çi.ji two.half | |||
çi.ği *-th (second) | |||
ki.ği four.th | |||
öşü çi/fi both/every three | |||
ki.z.çi two forth (two of four; four’s half) | |||
çi.vum, fi.vum, ki.vum double/two fold/twice, triple, quadruple | |||
çi.ğ.ma,fi.ğ.ma couple, trio | |||
