The -'''al''' series is adverbialized with the -men ending: '''qualmen''' (how) '''talmen''' (that way). Correlatives can take the plural ending: '''queles''', '''quales, tis, omnis''', etc. '''Ci''' (here) and '''ta''' (there) can be affixed to '''ti''' and '''to''' to indicate proximity or distance: '''ti libre''' (this book), '''ti-ci''' libre (this book here), '''ti-ta''' libre (that book there), '''tis''' (these), '''tis-ci''' (these here), '''tis-ta''' (those there), '''to-ci''' (this here), '''to-ta''' (that there). Many derivatives are formed from the correlatives: '''qualitá''' from '''qual''' + '''itá''', '''quantitá''' from '''quant''' + -'''itá''', '''omnipotent''' from '''omni + potent.'''
