Adverbs, Pronouns and Conjunctions
Adverbs
Adverbs agree with the verb they qualify, and thus carry all the same segunakar.

Pronouns
The first, second and proximate third personal pronouns of Khangaþyagon are formed as y+person, where the person ending is the same as that for verbs. They may take the same segunakar as nouns, with the exception of modsegunakar (deixis doesn't make much sense with pronouns). There is also an obviate third person pronoun, de, and a reflexive pronoun, ansidi. See the syntax section for more on the usage of pronouns.
Conjunctions
Conjunctions in Khangaþyagon have a very strong tendency to be palindromic, eg
- beb
- and
- gog
- or
- shosh
- but
