When noun ends in Consonent-----> Addition of 'ante'-----> Sunit (Heat) becomes Sunitante (Hot)

3. Creation of Adverbs from Adjectives

Since all adjectives end in 'te' (see above), the 'e' is simply substituted for an 'a':

Verante (Truthful) becomes Veranta (Truthfully) etc.

In cases of consonent subjective endings ('Castel'- Safety) last consonent is doubled (Castel=Castell)

Um is then added- Castellum ('Place of Safety')

In cases of vowel subjective endings ('Vera'- Truth) last vowel is removed (Vera=Ver)

Um is then added- Verum ('Place of Truth'- Courthouse)

8. Creation of Foreign Languages Procedure

And you add an 'on'

Balaron= Dance with Me

Faron= Talk to me
