These are nouns, modelled as kaq
in general and called saq
in their
instance. If it's derived from a verb or adjective, it's the thing
itself.

Other formal names include place names and species names, amongst other things.
The Big Owl-Eyed Night Walker.
So it would be broken down as:
Big Owl -Eyed Night -Walk -er.
brat yanxuf leg nayan nit wak zeka
So it can get arbitrarily complex that way.
A "gorilla" is a "large monkey" (brat maqk
). To know we aren't just
talking about generic large monkeys, we can prefix the noun phrase with
kaq
signifying "type".
kaq brat maqka
The beautiful gorilla is a large monkey.
dan fal byut kaq brat maqka vuti nic brat maqka.
Here are some example more complex multi-word terms.
Ideally formal noun-phrases only use max 3 words, but occasionally you may need to use 4 or more.
Some things can't have a memorable name, like the name of specific classes of rock, or of molecules or genes. You could theoretically have a "simple" name, but it would be a long name with many simple words. So instead of that, we can create short words. But you are unlikely to memorize more than a few dozen words in each category, so there is a tradeoff. But for formal sciences where they need an identifier, they can use a longer formal word. Ideally, however, we have a short descriptive word, like the following:

To say "the long-hair-jaw creature did x", you might say:
dan nuc wul graca yod vuti x
To say a complex concept like "maintainableness", you use "kun". So "meg kuna".
Like "darkness", you would use "dax" and say "ram daxa".
You might want to say "painter" or "creator", those would be "rasam zeka" or "bram zeka". To say "creators" you would say "yas bram zeka".
