A verb can incorporate a noun when the noun is non-referential, and a noun may be compounded with a verb or another noun. The modifying or incorporated noun is simply appended to the base noun or verb, but when a verb modifies a noun, the final vowel of the noun is elided. This differs from the infixing of determiners. A verb can also modify another verb; in this case, the base verb, acting as an auxiliary prefix, loses its final vowel. Such prefixes include deontic and potential modals, process phases and other aspectuals, stative-to-dynamic derivationals, and adjectival degrees.

The first syllable of any noun can be used anaphorically, acting as a formal classifier system, except _possibly_ where a conflict with pronouns occurs (but possibly, there are full noun forms for each pronoun as well).
