Talk:Gamgweth Grammar (book)

It's probably important to note that Verbs and Nouns in Gamgweth aren't necessarily the same, so the dictionary provided isn't very clear on whether words like "bark" implies the sound of it, or the activity. I'm assuming that most words, when not specified either way, are nouns considering how they are used in various names around Kemoria and the lack of 'verb' rules as specified in this grammar page.

Possibly add, excepting for irregular verbs, that most nouns follow the following rules when verbifying them based on the following rules (there are more examples than just the ones I'm listing):

Noun ends in vowel+consonant: replace consonant with 'r'

e.g., love: abues (n), abuer (v); fear: achol (n), achor (v)

Noun ends in vowel: add 'r'

e.g., sleep: ferse (n), ferser (v); way/travel: hentoi (n), hentor (v)

Noun ends in double consonant: add 'er'

e.g., death/kill: gweld (n), gwelder (v)

This is harder to justify, but places where this fails are usually visible on irregular verbs such as trade(n)/trader/trade(v): meng/menger/mengur However, it's also obvious that certain nouns become personified (persons who perform the act of) by adding 'er' as well. e.g., the trade/trader example, whereas dream(n)/dream(v)/dreamer is correctly following the rule: phofe/phofer/phoferit as described in this grammar page. So while the trade(n)/trade(v)/trader should be meng/menger/mengerit, it is irregular. This could also be seen in thief: tyvalger; it would make sense that if instead it were theft/steal/thief as tyvalg/tyvalger/tyvalgerit, but again the actual does not follow the rule stated in this grammar page.

Example rregular verbs:

e.g., guard(n/v): blarstil/blar; smile(n/v): bues/bueser; trade(n/v): meng/mengur
