Cuêzi Lexicon

The middle column gives part of speech and inflection class:

n neuter noun
f feminine noun
v# verb, declension #
vc causative verb
vp verb with passive forms only
pr pronoun
pp preposition
# numeral
a adjectiveav adverb

If a word is followed by an asterisk *, the inflection for that word will display a morphological alternation. For instance, clayē * indicates that the final y turns to g in some lexical forms. See the section on Morphology for what the sound change will be and what forms will be affected.

Etymologies are given in [brackets]. [*] indicates a root which can be traced back to the protolanguage; see the chapter on proto-Eastern for the reconstructed form. [K] refers to proto-Karazi-Central-- that is, the word is shared by Caďinor and Cuêzi but no other Eastern families.
