Word Families

The core words serve as nuclei for the word families. The nuclei represent an idea, an element, a type, a gesture, a movement that can be categorized or classified. Thus, the word families formed according to word-building rules represent large word groups that have meaningful relationships among them.
This is a language where phonetics is used to present mnemonic relationships and analogy among words as in the following example, based on the word teub....mouth:
"Mnemonic Family"
seux....sound
xeus....noise
xeuz....tune
teuz....voice
deuz....song
seuz....tone
deus....accent
Here are some other examples where analogy and mnemonics are used to the maximum:

The xer (Do) Family

The verb xer means to do. Many words are built from this base word using the postional/directional vowel coding rule. Words ending in xer contrast with those ending in ser, in that the former are transitive (taking an object), as opposed to intransitive (taking no object).


Core Words

This chart shows the core verbs in the xer family:

Using xer to Build Verbs from Adjectives

Unlimited transitive verbs can be created with adjectives and xer as a suffix like -ify, -ate, -ize in English.
Building Verbs from Adjectives
ADJECTIVEVERB
aga....bigagaxer....magnify
goa....lessergoaxer....diminish
fia....goodfiaxer....improve
jwoa....latejwoaxer....retard
uva....saduvaxer....sadden
via....beautifulviaxer....beautify
ebdooba....internationalebdoobaxer....internationalize
Note: Sometimes, the adjectival ending -a is dropped. This often produces a difference nuance. For example, agaxer means to magnify, make bigger, but agxer is more idiomatic and means to grow.
The passive of xer, xwer....to be done can be used to mean to happen or to become. For example:
  • Hoj hus xwa?....When did that happen?
  • At uvaxwa haj hu at teata ha tobud.....I became sad (=was saddened) when I saw the child.

Using xer for All-Purpose Idioms

The verb xer can be used as an all-purpose verb for actions which in English are expressed with a variety of idiomatic verbs, for example:
  • xer deuz....to perform a song
  • xer ifpop....to take a cruise
  • xer ebdid....to conduct an interview
  • xer yagigpek....to run a marathon
  • xer dazun....to do a dance number
  • xer dezekgon....to play a role
  • xer dovyabdras....to enact a piece of legislation


The ser (Be) Family


Core Words

The core verb ser means to be and is the base for many verbs having to do with being, becoming, and creating. Verbs ending in ser are intransitive (taking no object) and contrast with those ending in xer, which are transitive (taking an object). Verbs in ser often are stative, i.e. linking verbs.
Summary:
Core Ser Verbs
aser....becomeeser....exist, there to beoser....cease to beiser....start outuser....end up

Creating Stative Verbs from Adjectives

The core verb ser can be postfixed to adjectives to form a class of verbs called stative, which have the meaning become X, and which contrast with parallel transitive verbs in xer. If the adjectival ending a is dropped, then the resulting stative verb has a more idiomatic sense.
Stative Verbs
ADJECTIVESTATIVE VERB
aga....bigagaser....get big
aga....bigagser....grow
uza....curveduzaser....curve, bend, bow
kyaa....mobilekyaser....change, vary
mayna....clearmaynaser....clear up
iga....fastigaser....become fast, accelerate
iga....fastigser....rush, hurry
Stative verbs in -ser are most often intransitive and contrast with dynamic, transitive verbs in -xer. Here are some comparative examples:
  • It agxe vafyabi.....He grows grapes. (TRANSITIVE/DYNAMIC)
  • Vafyabi voy agse fiay him.....Grapes do not grow well here. (INTRANSITIVE/STATIVE)


  • His kyaxa yata teji.....This changed our lives.
  • Yata teji kyasa hujub.....Our lives changed on that day.


  • Ha mapi uzaxa ha fabi.....The winds bent the trees.
  • Ha fabi uzasa je ha mapilag.....The trees bowed during the storm.


  • Von igxu at.....Don't rush me. (TRANSITIVE/DYNAMIC)
  • Igsu!....Hurry up! (INTRANSITIVE/STATIVE)

Creating Stative Verbs from Nouns

The above stative verbs were created from adjectives, but such verbs can also be formed from nouns and have the meaning to become (something):
Creating Stative Verbs from Adjectives
NOUNSTATIVE VERB
meg....stonemegser....petrify, become rock
abnod....peakabnodser....peak, climax
fub....branchfubser....branch out, ramify
yom....iceyomser....freeze
maf....cloudmafser....cloud over
il....liquidilser....liquefy, melt

The ber (Put) and per (Go) Families

The base words ber....to put and per....to go, combined with positional/directional prefixes and various other word prefixes, form many words having to do with positions, bodily gestures, and directional motions. Those ending in ber are transitive verbs, while those ending in per are mostly intransitive.


Common ber/per Verbs Built from Prefixes

Common Verb Derivatives

The following chart shows a number of verb derivatives of ber and per formed by:
  • augmenting the b or p with a vowel having a general sense of direction relative to the speaker;
  • adding a verb formant at the end of the stem (-s (intransitive), -x (transitive), -l, -r, or -n);
  • intensifying the meaning of the word by prefixing the vowel stem with -y-, -l-, or -r-.
  • sometimes prefixing the stem with one or more prepositions or other semantic morphemes.
In these words, stems beginning with p- are more intense than those in b-.
The general formula for these verbs is "(PREFIX +)?[bp][y]?[aeoiu][sx]?[lr]?er".

Animal Sounds

Animal noise verbs are created by replacing the final -t of an animal name with der:

yepet....dogyepeder....bark
yipet....catyipeder....mew
epeyt....cowepeyder....moo
epat....duckepader....quack
ipat....turkeyipader....gobble

Speaking in Languages

Names of languages can be formed by replacing the final -m of the country name with -d. Then, the verb meaning to say in x language or speak in x language can be formed by adding -der or -daler, eg:
Language Speaking Verbs
Anglam....EnglandAnglad English Anglader....say in EnglishAngladaler....speak in English
Fransam....FranceFransad....French (language)Fransader....say in FrenchFransadaler....speak French
The name of the language discussed in this book is Mirad, which comes from mira, meaning global, world. Thus, say in Mirad is Mirader and speak Mirad is Miradaler. A speaker of Mirad is a Miradut or Miradalut. Duven et Mirade?....Do you speak Mirad?. Hey Miraduti, ansu!....Hey, speakers of Mirad, unite!
Examples:
  • Duven et Miradale?....Do you speak Mirad?
  • Diwe Engladu has.....Please say it in English.
  • Voy ese gaj gla Latinaduti.....There are no longer many Latin-speakers.
Note: Latinadalut can be shortened to Latinadut.
Similarly, to write in Mirad and to read in Mirad would be Miradrer and Miradyeer, respectively.

The sar (Tool) and par (Vehicle) Family

The base words having to do with tools, devices, and machines all begin in s for thing and end in r for tool. Vehicles are mobile machines, and therefore their stems begin with p for mobile.

For example, makijar, meaning electrical switch, starter is composed of mak (electricity) and ij- (start).

The pot (Animal) Family

The stems of the words in this family begin with the letter p, denoting movement, and end in the letter t, denoting a living creature. Thus, the words have to do with animals. The ordinal vowel indicates the terrain: land, air, water, or a combination of these. If the vowel is pre-y-glided, then the animal is wild or predatory.

Colors (voz)

The names of common colors in Mirad are mnemonically based on flowers and other natural products that have distinctive colors. In the summary chart below, the mnemonic origin is given for each color term.
Summary:
Color Words
COLORMNEMONIC ORIGIN
voz....colorvos....flower
ovoza....plain, blanko....zero
avoza....whiteavos....lily
evoza....yellowevos....narcissus
ivoza....redivos....poppy
uvoza....pinkuvos....rose
yovoza....blueyovos....blueberry
yavoza....mauveyavos....hydrangea
yevoza....lilacyevos....lilac
yivoza....violet, purpleyivos....violet
lafeza....orangelafeb....orange
vaza....greenvab....grass
moza....blackmon....dark
maza....whiteman....light
maoza....grayman + mon
meza....brownmel....soil
The common colors consist of a mnemonic stub for a flower, plant, fruit, or other natural item exhibiting most vividly the color in question, followed by the suffix -za (reminiscent of voz....color, itself reminiscent of vos....flower), eg. va- (from vab....grass) + z = vaza....green.
The most exotic or rare colors can be expressed by the numerical position in the alphabetized Wikipedia list of colors + -za. For example, the color Alabama Crimson is the tenth color in that list when alphabetized, so it's name is aloza.
A color referring to one's skin or race is suffixed with -ata-, eg. mozata....black-skinned, black, while the person of that skin color ends in -at, eg. mazat....white person, a white. A person of mixed color is a eyvozat ('ey-....half). A non-white is expressed with omazat.
A color referring to one's hair is a combination of toz, preceded by the first vowel of the color, eg. i from ivoza....red + toz yields itoza....auburn, red-headed.
  • If the stem vowel of the color term is post-y-glided, then the meaning is the lighter version of the color, eg. ivoyza....light red.
  • If the stem vowel of the color term is pre-y-glided, then the meaning is the darker or deeper version of the color, eg. ivyoza....deep red.
  • If the stem vowel of the color term is doubled, then the meaning is the brighter version of the color, eg. ivooza....bright red.
  • If the syllable yen is inserted between the stem and the adjectival ending a, then the meaning is -ish, eg. avozyena....reddish.
  • If the color word is preceded by gwa, it is of maximum intensity, eg. gwaivoza....as red as can be.

The tuz (Art) Family

This family includes words having to do with the arts, such as theater, sculpture, music, poetry, etc. Word stems ending in -z refer to something that is precious or artful. Stems with eu are mnemonic for teub....mouth and refer to sound, singing, noises, etc.

Measurements

Mirad uses the International System of Units|International System of Units (SI) for rendering measurement units. These symbols are pronounced as if you were spelling each letter out (see Mirad Grammar/Phonology and Orthography#Alphabet|the alphabet. Bear in mind that majuscules (uppercase letters are prefaced with the word ag- (big). Similarly, Greek letters are spelled with the English spelling of their Greek names (eg. alpha, beta, gamma, etc. and if the latter are majuscules, they are similarly preceded with the word ag-. The Mirad pronunciation of the SI symbol for ohm (Ω) is ag-omega.

The following chart shows how in Mirad to pronounce coherent derived unit formulae in terms of base units. Note that the backslash means per or divided by and is pronounced gol. The symbol x means times and is pronounced gal. The superscript number is a power and is pronounced gar plus the number (with -wa, if a unit number). The negative superscript number is pronounced gor plus the number (again, with -wa if a unit number). See Arithmetical Expressions for further information on these terms.

The SI has a whole list of prefixes that act as multipliers (macro) or dividers (micro) of the above and other measurement units. For example, a kilometer is a meter times a 1,000 (macro unit), whereas a millimeter is a meter divided by a 1,000 (micro unit). The SI symbol for b (byte) is pronounced ba in Mirad. A terabyte ( Tb) is therefore pronounced ag-to-ba, which This amounts 1012 bytes. Here is a table showing the Mirad macro and micro prefixes:

*Note: The gar (to a plus power) and gor (to a minus power) forms are alternatives for the numeric prefixes beyond 100. For example, billion (109) could be expressed as garyu-(ten) to the 9th power, while billionth could be expressed by goryu ((ten) to the minus 9th power). The prefix garya- is composed of the positive exponential operator gar (to the power of), followed by the number 6. The prefix gorale- is composed of the negative exponential operator gor (to the root of), followed by the number 12.

The macro and micro values can also be represented with abbreviated symbols, which can be pronounced in Mirad as spelled out alphabetics. Upper case equivalents are preceded with ag-. Here is a table showing grams:
