Root [-N-] Extension.

Not a true root suffix so much as a back-formation from nasal infixion as commonly utilized in Primitive Adûnaic. Used to turn certain verb stems into a related adjectival form.

Make sure to extend the primary vowel whenever and wherever the root is added.

 

Example:

TUNUG ("large"); from √TUG ("grow"), or √ZINID ("true"); from √ZID ("straighten").
