Korbeth has a lot of prefixes and suffixes. I don't know the technical term for many of them, but hopefully that's all right as long as I get the point across. I will arrange them alphabetically and by category, but first - the two most important:
PLURAL (prefix): m/me-
POSSESSIVE (prefix): ílá-
You can go a long way with just these two. The form of the plural is determined by the noun ending and (unlike in English) is always regular - an "m" for nouns beginning with vowels and a "me" for those beginning with consonants: "ear", ákráfth, pluralizes to mákráfth, while "heart", stárí, pluralizes to mestárí.
PREFIXES
ADVERB (-ly): bro-
DOER (-er): er-
POSSIBILITY (-able): ní-
SUFFIXES
LACK (-less): -dai
INCREASE (-er): -ed
INCREASE (-est): -em
NAME (feminine): -má
NAME (masculine): -dá
OPPOSITE (un-): -gor
ORIGINATING (-ian): -eth
SURFEIT (-ful): -ul
Many words in the regular Korbeth vocabulary make use of these prefixes and suffixes already, but feel free to add them. "Dark", wáren, becomes wárened, "darker", just as it does in English.
