Usage notes

• When introducing a predicate ending in a consonant, the enclitic form-at can be used. Nouns ending in -Cre- can also have their final -e elided and be followed with the enclitic form.
• If the predicate is an adform, the adverb is used for stative predicates, whereas the adjective gives inalienable qualities.
