Words in Proto-Ñyqy belong to one of two categories: either a bound
morphene, or a free morpheme. The former have a restricted use and
must be used in certain contexts and do not mean anything by
themselves. In Proto-Ñyqy, they are most of the time grammatical
morphemes, for instance for marking the genitive between two words or
the tense of a verb. Although the morpheme is bound, it does not mean
it is part of another word --- it will still be most of the time a
full fledged word obeying the phonological rules of a whole word.
On the other hand, free morphemes do not require another morpheme to
exist. The most basic example is the sentence {{{recon(*ñe)}}} which means
/“It is a house”/. It is also the word for /“house”/ by itself. All nouns
in Proto-Ñyqy are free morphemes, although they can act as bound
morphemes if need be such as when they act as adjectives.
Among multi-syllable world, it is not rare to find compound world made
from other known root words. Generally, the order of the new word
roughly follows the adjective order, however some words might reflect
short noun phrases that became over time a word by itself through
abbreviation with for instance {{{recon(zosøwe)}}} (/shawl/, /veil/) composed of
{{{recon(zoc)}}} and {{{recon(søwe)}}}. This term is most likely the abbreviation
of {{{recon(zoc pom søwe)}}}, or /head fabric/. Phonetic rules on abbreviation
in Proto-Ñyqy are unfortunately very much unknown with no consensus
reached on this point, most of them might be older innovations.
