Propose morphological processes here. These can be concatenative or non-concatenative, derivational or inflectional. To describe the processes using Lexical Relatedness Morphology notation, use Template:LRM, for which the code

{{LRM|Form1=FOO|Part1=A|Meaning1=X|Form2=BAR|Part2=B|Meaning2=Y}}

gives you

{
FOO
A
X

} <=> {

BAR
B
Y
}

Which means that from a word of form FOO, which belongs to Part of Speech A and means X, can be derived a word of form BAR which belongs to Part of Speech B and means Y.




Numerals

All cardinal and ordinal numerals are built from (the derivates and/or compounds of) the following roots: hih 'happen one time', pip 'be repeated twice', tal 'be repeated thrice', dax 'be repeated ten times', put 'be first', and xuW 'be last'. In its most commonly used version, the system is decimal.
