Line 265:

Besides those verbs that evolved from quirky subjects, there are other verbs specially for people that make vs. who receive the action. For example: 'to kill' ''Monaku'' (used only in the Agentive) vs. 'to die' ''Midonaku'' (used only in the Patientive).

Vethari is known for having lots of words for different colors, not shades, but referring to them as a different color, the same way as pink and red, and some languages dark blue vs. light blue. They are mainly variations of lighter versions and darker versions, as well as a 'normal' one to be the default, like Green(Vilo), Light Green(Visyil) and Dark Green(Vamu). There are also words for the transparent variation of them, but only 2 colors, Blue(Noki/Noku) and Red(Esami/Esamu).

Kinship terms on Vethari are pretty complex. Terms change completely when the person is biologically female/masculine, since there are no genders in the language. Exclusive names go for at maximum every person related to you in 3 generations, including your spouse/husband, so those names changes if they are from your partner’s family. After that, people related but distant are called 'prakhninau'. There are names for lots of people, for example: My mother’s-in-law mom is Gurunisyinumi. For people starting with 'step-', the suffix 'egu(l)-' is put. People starting with 'grand-', after the grand-grand-grand-???, is 'fyu(l)-'.
