  3. Derivation vs. Inflection • Ordering! All derivational morphemes are closer to the root than inflectional morphemes. (Keep this in mind for Esperanto) • Productivity: inflectional endings go on basically every eligible verb/noun; not true for things like -ish, -ness, -ity, -ment, etc.

  5. Tagalog • takbuh ‘run’ tatakbuh ‘will run’ • lakad ‘walk’ lalakad ‘will walk’ • pili’ ‘choose’ pipili’ ‘will choose’

  6. Agta • dakal ‘big’ dumakal ‘grow’ • darag ‘red’ dumarag ‘redden’ • furaw ‘white’ fumuraw ‘whiten’

  7. Yoruba • gbona ‘be warm’ gbigbona ‘warmth’ • dara ‘be good’ didara ‘gooness’ • won ‘cost a lot’ wiwmon ‘costliness’ • je ‘eat’ jije ‘act of eating’
