In Dal’a culture, it is quite typical that children follow in their parents’ footsteps: The child of a soldier will likely be a soldier; the child of a baker will likely be a baker… To make a conscious decision to take your life in a different direction than your parents labels you gaa’vemx (/Ι’Γ¦Κ”Ξ²emΟ‡/), the verbal noun, implying β€˜the estranged’. While verbal nouns do not take determiner suffixes, this label is considered honourable and to be called gaa’vemx is to be called β€˜someone in charge of their own destiny’.

Augmentative.prefix.hho(m)π“€ͺ/Δ§o-/; /Δ§om-/
This prefix (short for hhomung 'great') is applied to a noun to imply 'great; important; major'; the hho- form is used if the noun starts with a consonant, hhom- if the noun starts with a vowel. This prefix may also be applied to adpositions to verbalize them. For example, while vahm is the adposition β€˜out’, hhovahm would be the equivalent to an imperative β€˜(get) out!’.
