For Yélian, I created a couple of stative verbs (consisting of a classifier and the copula verb balia or its stative form -ba ) that serve as colloquial synonyms for some words of the core vocabulary. I realized that for how easy it is to form verbs like that, too few lexicalized terms existed. The ...
