| 4.21.1. Derivative Suffixes |
| Verbal derivatives in Urali are formed by the addition of certain suffixes called the derivative suffixes, to the verb stems. In Urali, only very limited verb stems take the derivative suffixes. |
| The verbal derivatives found in Urali are classified into five categories on the basis of the relationship between the verb stem and the derivative suffix, based on certain generalised meaning categories. They are (i) the deed, (ii) the result of an action, (iii) the action, (iv) resultant object of an action and (v) instrument or consequence of an action. |
| Following are the various derivative suffixes suffixes identified in Urali. |
| -ke, -ti, -pu, -ta, -ka, -tu, -a, -ma:na, -Ø, -vu, -i, -ige, and -ge. These suffixes cannot be easily distributed, as mutually exclusive items, among the five meaning classes of verbal derivation referred above. |
