The Kargnch and Kargnchha’s actions are expressed in all tenses, due to their omnipotence. Kargnch ymuhkuhsakantsaiyni orange-yc. The Kargnch has, will, is, and has finished eating oranges
Adjectives
To turn a noun into an adjective take off the last consonant(s) to the vowel, if there is at least 3 in all, otherwise leave as is. EX: Hab-->Ha God/elite-->Holy/godlike/elite-like
Some words have no translation, thus use the normal form.
Dog-->do Dog-->Dog-like
S’skñbasnanhaha--> S’skñbasnanhah Gold (Elite holy wood)-->Golden
