My language, Verbum, uses a series of prefixes and suffixes to change the meaning of a root word. So for example the root word for MAN is ma. From ma, most, if not all other formal relationships to a man can be created. But first a quick prefix/suffix overview:
her/hēr - lower and high ranks
nō - Plural
ke - Classification
rū - Child of/Parent of, rē - Joint/Equivalent relationship
ga - increased/improve or greater condition, sa - an extreme/intensive amount/representation
Now for the Words... ( all made from the same root).
Man/male/males – ma/mam/mamnō
Men – manō
Woman/female/females – mana/manal/manalnō
Women – mananō
Boy – herma
Girl – hermana
Person – kema
People – kemanō
Child – herkema
Toddler – gaherkema
Baby/Newborn – sagaherkema
Children – herkemanō
Elder/senior citizen - kemahēr
Son – rūma
Daughter – rūmana
Father – marū
Mother – manarū
Wife – rēmana
Husband – rēma
Grandfather – gamarū
