*''er-'' is a negating suffix of Talmic origin; it is most commonly used with Talmic adjectives.

*''-flen'' /-fʟɛn/ is an adjectival suffix with the same meaning as Korean ''-tapta'' and Japanese ''-rashii'': it means 'like an X is supposed to be' or 'like a typical X'. The suffix comes from Old Eevo compound adjectives of the form ''X-fheileán'' (from ''feil'' 'name' + ''-án'' adjectivizer; i.e. 'like the name X' or 'worthy of the name X'). Some words with the suffix have undergone semantic shifts, e.g. carflen /ˈkʰarfʟɛn/ 'humane, moral, ethical' (from Old Eevo car "human" + -flen).

*''-gom'' is similar to '-able', but it is ergative in that it can also be used for ~~absolutive patients,~~ ex. ''feŋggom'' 'mortal (flowery)' < ''feŋg'' 'die'.

*''-gom'' is similar to '-able', but it is ergative in that it can also be used for "able to [intransitive verb]". ex. ''feŋggom'' 'mortal, human (flowery)' < ''feŋg'' 'die'.

*''jy-'' (''jyn-'' before C) is a [[Windermere]] adjectival suffix.

*''-ol'' /-ɔ̃/ is an adjectival suffix of Clofabic origin; it is cognate with Clofabosin ''-ol''. It is used mainly in loanwords from [[Proto-Clofabic]] or [[Phormatolide]], or to derive adjectives from Clofabic loanwords; however, it is sometimes used with other words as well.
