Slovura 03 - Compound Words

In Slovura, complex concepts are created by combining root syllables into a single word. These compounds follow a strict internal logic: Head + Predicate.

The Structure

A compound word is essentially a miniature sentence compressed into one word.

• The First Syllable (The Head): This is the "subject" of the word. It answers: What is this thing fundamentally?
• The Remainder (The Predicate): The second syllable after the first forms the main part of the predicate. Every following syllable modifies the second syllable.

Examples:

• kaklama = person + (head of state)
• kapusta = person + (big mouth)
