Part-Of-Speech Endings
The part of speech of almost all Dublex words (except for a few particles not included in the 400 roots) is indicated by the final vowels, if any.
- article, particle, common noun, pronoun
-a adjective (noun modifier)
-e adverb (verb modifier)
-i verb
-o postposition
-u proper noun (word should be capitalized)
-ua proper adjective (word should not uncapitalized)
-ui idiomatic multiword modifier
-ia adjective modifier
-ie adverb modifier
-ii interjection
-io clause modifier; conjunction
-iu idiomatic multiword modifier
a, e, i, o, u -- vowel-only words are particles
VC(C) -- words in this pattern are articles
Deprecated System
Here is the system prior to 5/15/02:
unmarked - noun
-a - noun modifier (adjective)
-e - verb modifier (adverb)
-i - multiword compound
-o - preposition
-u - verb
-ie - adjective modifier (adverb)
-io - clause modifier
All Dublex roots are nouns.
