When Diluvian particles are applied, the resultant word denotes a new actor ('''X''') through the relation with the stem's original ('''Y'''). Furthermore, left-bound affixes are active whereas right-ones passive, which helps stems to diverge in semantic content (e.g. ''haûl'' "fire" | When Diluvian particles are applied, the resultant word denotes a new actor ('''X''') through the relation with the stem's original ('''Y'''). Furthermore, left-bound affixes are active whereas right-ones passive, which helps stems to diverge in semantic content (e.g. ''haûl'' "fire" ⇒ ''mahaûl'' "firewood" / ''haûmma'' "ashes"). This process includes not only nouns, but verbs (e.g. ''úgul'' "to eat" ⇒ ''múgul'' "to force oneself to eat" / ''úgumma'' "to find oneself forced to eat"), appositions (e.g. ''’ūl'' "human" ⇒ ''ma’ūl'' "self-made" / ''’ūmma'' "made by the situation"), and even clitics (e.g. ''su'' "he" ⇒ ''masu'' "who" [relative] / ''suma'' "who" [interrogative]). | ||
