Words in '''Pankristia''' come from the languages of humanity, but reflect the largely European and African origins of Christianity.

== Names vs. Roots ==
Drawing on many languages for its vocabulary, some words are already ready to be used as nouns, because they end in a consonant. These are assumed to be nouns, but they can be clarified with the '''-e''' ending as needed. (e.g. '''maw''' and '''mawe''' are both ''cat''.)

Most words are not ready to be used as anything because they end in a consonant cluster. These require an affix to make clear what part of speech they are. These are listed in the dictionary as ending in a hyphen, even though they are not prefixes. Not all suffixes make sense in every context.

* Nouns end in '''-e'''
* Adjectives end in '''-i''
* Adverbs end in '''-o'''
* Active verbs end in '''-a'''
* Passive verbs end in '''-u'''

For example, '''abl-''' is a root in the dictionary, but not a word by itself. '''able'' is ''an ability'' and ''abla'' is ''to be able to''.

=== Exceptions ===
The first major exception to this rule is numerals

# 0 '''nol'''

These exist in the plain form when used as predicates, and take an '''-i''' (on the final element) when used as adjectives.
