 ===Adjectives===
+===Derivation===
+Ewige makes extensive use of derivation. The following are some common nominalizing prefixes and suffixes, which are attached to the verb root:
+{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="bluetable lightbluebg" style="text-align:center;"
+! Type
+! Suffix
+|-
+| Gerund
+|
+''-zo'' (for verbs of motion)<br>
+''-há'' (for all other verbs)
+|-
+| Gerund, habitual
+|
+''-sék''
+|-
+| Locational
+|
+''-ova''
+|-
+| Patient
+|
+''žo-''
+|-
+| Productive
+|
+''ano-''
+|}
+====Compounds====
+Each noun, verb, or adjective root has a "construct state" that is used to form compounds; this construct state is used for all roots in the compound except the final one. First, any affixes, such as those marking definiteness/animacy or the infinitive, are removed, and then the final consonant of the root is altered according to the following rules:
+{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="bluetable lightbluebg" style="text-align:center;"
+! Final consonant of root...
+! is replaced with...
+|-
+| Voiceless stops
+| ''-šé(j)''
+|-
+| Voiceless fricatives
+| ''-t''
+|-
+| Other final consonants
+| ''-ž''
+|-
+| Root ends in ''-á''
+| ''-á'' becomes ''-ež''
+|-
+| Root ends in a different vowel
+| Vowel becomes ''-á''
+|}
