+Instead most of them arise from affixation of existing words.
+
+Some of these derivational affixes are listed below:
+
+* The prefix "lo-" forms the "relational" adjective from a noun, which

+* The prefix "tr-" negates an adjective.
+* The suffixes "-kor" and "-kel" produce comparative forms of an
+  adjective, with "-kor" indicating more and "-kel" less.
