In this chapter, we examine two additional morphological categories — <strong>Modality<strong> </strong></strong>and <strong>Level — </strong>as well as the morpho-syntactic process called <strong>Incorporation</strong> and its associated morphological category <strong>Format</strong>. Modality and Level are shown via a word separate from the formative itself, the <strong>verbal adjunct</strong>. The concept of adjuncts was previously discussed in <a href="02_morpho-phonology.html#Sec2o4">Section 2.4</a> and <a href="02_morpho-phonology.html#Sec2o4o2">2.4.2</a>. A verbal adjunct is placed either immediately preceding or immediately following a verbal formative, and provides additional morphological information about the formative.</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">Note that, in addition to conveying Modality and Level, the verbal adjunct also has slots for conveying certain categories usually conveyed by the formative, specifically Valence, Phase, Sanction, Illocution, Aspect, Mood, Bias, and Extension. Therefore, a verbal adjunct can be used to convey these other categories in order to decrease the number of syllables of the formative and facilitate pronunciation/euphony of the sentence as whole. This is discussed in <a href="#Sec6o3">Section 6.3</a>.</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">The structure of a <strong>verbal adjunct</strong> is as follows. Those slots which are exclusive to verbal adjuncts (i.e., not also found in the formative) are Slots B and D:<br />

<span class="style11">The <strong>Cs</strong> aspectual infix in Slot E is mandatory, even if it carries a null value (i.e., no aspect). The <strong>Cs</strong> consonantal affix will always contain one of the specialized dyssyllabic geminate clusters described in <a href="01_phonology.html#Sec1o2o1o3">Section 1.2.1.3</a>, written <strong>n-n</strong>, <strong>m-m</strong>, <strong>l-l</strong>, <strong>r-r</strong>, etc. as well as various other syllabic consonant clusters, e.g.,<strong> l-m</strong>, <strong>l-n</strong>, <strong>r-m</strong>, <strong>r-n</strong>, and <strong>r-<strong>ň</strong></strong>. The second member of the dyssyllabic consonant cluster always carries the word stress and tone in a verbal adjunct. It is the appearance of such a dyssyllabic geminate cluster as the last, or second-to-last consonantal form in the word that identifies the word to readers/listeners as a verbal adjunct.</span></p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">The default tone of a verbal adjunct is falling. However, variations in the tone of a verbal adjunct can be used to convey the accompanying formative’s Extension category, in order to simplify the phonetic structure of the Formative's <strong>Ca</strong> affix (see <a href="03_morphology.html">Chapter 3</a>) for purposes of euphony and ease of pronunciation. This is discussed in <a href="#Sec6o3o5">Section 6.3.5</a> below.</p>

<p align="justify"><span class="style11"><strong>Modality</strong> corresponds roughly to the function
of both modal verbs in Western languages (e.g., <em>can, may, must, should</em>,
etc.) as well as those verbs which modify a following verb such as t<em>o want
to, to choose to, to need to, to offer to, to demand that</em>, etc. However,
in Ithkuil, the effect of such modifications on a verb causes a fundamental
change in the cognitive interpretation of the verb, usually resulting in a modification
of both the Essence (see <a href="03_morphology.html#Sec3o5">Sec.
3.5</a>) and the Perspective (see <a href="03_morphology.html#Sec3o3">Sec.
3.3</a>) of the verb, as well as invoking the use of the ACTIVATIVE case to mark the “subject” noun (see <a href="04_case.html#Sec4o3o9">Sec.
4.3.9</a>). The nature of these modifications is explained as follows: As we saw in <a href="03_morphology.html#Sec3o5">Sections
3.5</a> and <a href="04_case.html#Sec4o3o9">4.3.9</a>,
it is possible in human language to speak about events that are either unreal,
as-yet-unrealized, or alternative versions of reality. Specifically, nouns and
verbs can make reference to hypothetical representations of real-world counterparts
from within an “alternative mental space” created psychologically
(and implied linguistically). This alternative mental space is essentially the
psychological realm of potential and imagination. It is seen, for example, in
the following sentences.</span></p>

4) <em>Mother needs <strong>you to come with her</strong></em>.<br />
5) <em>The teacher requests that <strong>I dance for you</strong></em>.<br />
6) <em>The man believes <strong>clowns are dangerous</strong></em>. </p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify" class="style11">Each of the above sentences describe potential or unreal events,
not actual real-world happenings that are occurring or have occurred. In Sentence
(1) no one has yet come home, in Sentence (2) the girl may choose never to sing
again, Sentence (3) does not tell us whether any attack will actually occur,
Sentence (4) does not indicate whether you will come or not, Sentence (5) does
not indicate whether I will dance, nor does Sentence (6) establish whether or
not clowns are, in fact, dangerous.Because the clauses following the verbs <em>must, can, should,
need, request, believe</em>, in the above sentences all refer to unrealized,
imagined, or hypothetical events, the nouns and verbs within those clauses would
be marked in the ABSTRACT perspective (see <font color="#FF0000"><a href="03_morphology.html#Sec3o3">Sec.
3.3</a></font>) and the REPRESENTATIVE essence (see <a href="03_morphology.html#Sec3o5">Sec.
3.5</a>). The “subject” nouns which invoke the event (the nouns <em>you, girl, troops, mother, teacher</em>, and <em>man</em> in the six sentences
above) would be marked in the ACTIVATIVE case (see <font color="#FF0000"><a href="04_case.html#Sec4o3o9">Sec.
4.3.9</a></font>). It should be noted that not all Ithkuil modalities necessarily
invoke hypothetical or unrealized events. For example, in the sentence <em>She
chose to move to Australia</em>, the verb <em>chose</em> signals that the following
clause is spoken of abstractly (i.e., it is the act of choice that is being
talked about, not the move itself), but nevertheless refers to an actual event
(i.e., she did, in fact, move to Australia). Thus, the <em>move to Australia</em> clause would be marked in the ABSTRACT perspective but
would <em>not</em> be marked in the REPRESENTATIVE essence.
Thus, the requirement that an Ithkuil modality construction invoke modifications
in the perspective, essence and case of the associated nouns and verbs is entirely
dependent on the semantics and cognitive intent of the utterance.</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">There are 30 modalities in Ithkuil. Modality is marked by the<strong> Vm </strong>vocalic affix in Slot D of a verbal adjunct. </p>

<td><div><font size="4"><strong>6.2 LEVEL</strong></font></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><span class="style11"><strong>Level</strong> corresponds roughly to what is known
as degree of comparison in other languages. Many languages morphologically indicate
degrees of comparison as exemplified by the English suffixes -<em>er</em> and
-<em>est</em> seen in <em>great-greater-greatest</em>, or alternately with the adverbs <em>more</em> and <em>most</em>, as well as their negative counterparts <em>less</em> and <em>least</em>. The Ithkuil comparison schema is much more complex than those found in natural languages and is designed to eliminate various ambiguities that arise from those simpler schemata, as discussed below.<br />
</span></p>
<h3 align="justify" class="style11"><a name="Sec6o2o1" id="Sec6o2o1"></a><br />
6.2.1 Ambiguity and Under-specification in Natural Languages </h3>
<p align="justify" class="style11">The comparison schemata of natural languages tend to grossly under-specify the exact semantic nature of the comparison. A clear case of such under-specification can be seen in an English example sentence such as <em>Jane is healthier.</em> This sentence can mean any of the following:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify" class="style11"><em>(a) Jane's state of health has improved, although she is still unwell.<br />
(b) Jane's state of health has improved so that now she is well (whereas before she was unwell).<br />
(c) Jane's state of health is even better than it previously was (i.e., she was healthy before, but is even healthier now). <br />
(d) Jane's state of health is not as poor as someone else's state of health (although neither Jane nor the other person are well).<br />
(e) Jane's state of health is better than someone else's state of health, so that Jane can be considered healthy while the other is unwell.<br />
(f) Jane's state of health is better than someone else's state of health, even though both can be considered healthy.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify" class="style11"><br />
This ambiguity is not alleviated even when we specify a party to which Jane's health is being compared as in <em>Jane is healthier than Sue</em>, which can mean:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify" class="style45">(a) Jane's state of health is not as poor as Sue's although both are unwell.<br />
(b) Jane's state of health is better than Sue's, so that Jane can be considered well while Sue is unwell.<br />
(c) Both Jane and Sue are healthy, but Jane's state of health is even better than Sue's. <br />
(d) Jane's state of health is not as poor as Sue's (although neither Jane nor the other person are well).</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify" class="style11"><br />
This sort of ambiguity allows odd-sounding sentences such as <em>Snow is warmer </em>(e.g., than liquid nitrogen) to be perfectly grammatical. What is important to note about the above analysis is that the words <em>healthier</em> or <em>warmer</em> do not indicate in the actual context of usage <em>whether a person is actually healthy or whether snow is actually warm.</em> Rather English -<em>er</em> and -<em>est</em> (and <em>more</em> and <em>most</em>) as well as their negative counterparts (<em>less</em> and <em>least</em>) merely serve to indicate <em>on a relative scale</em> a relationship between two entities being compared (or where only one party is mentioned, in relationship to some unspecified standard or expectation). Additional statements are needed to clarify the actual context to determine where the entities fall on the quantitative "spectrum" or range of the particular quality or attribute pair in question, e.g., <em>unhealthy </em><—> <em>healthy</em>.</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">The comparison scheme of Ithkuil has been designed to inherently specify such relative comparison while simultaneously specifying placement within the qualitative spectrum, so that ambiguity as to whether “healthier” means the person is well or unwell is eliminated. </p>
<p class="style11"> </p>
<h3 align="justify" class="style11">6.2.2 Relative Versus Absolute Comparison</h3>
<p align="justify" class="style11">An additional aspect of Ithkuil comparison is the concept of <strong>relative comparison </strong>versus<strong> absolute comparison</strong>. This is an important concept which impacts the truth value of a statement based upon context. Specifically, relative comparison allows for statements to be true within the narrow confines of the context-at-hand, whereas absolute comparison allows for statements to be true without reference to any specific context. This can be illustrated by the following examples.</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11"><em>(a) Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky.<br />
(b) That highway is the fastest way into town.</em></p>
<p align="justify" class="style11"><br />
Both of these sentences are true in certain pragmatic contexts and not true in others. For example, while Sirius is the most luminous star as seen from Earth, this is merely due to its relative nearness to Earth (8.4 light years) as compared to most other stars. There are thousands of known stars which are larger (and inherently more luminous) than Sirius but are much further away from Earth. So Sentence (a) is true in a relative context but false in an absolute context. Similarly the highway in Sentence (b) may be the fastest way in most conditions, but if there is a traffic jam or an accident blocking the highway, or if one has access to a private helicopter, then the statement would be false. Therefore, it is only true in a narrow context determined by the pragmatics of the moment it is spoken. Ithkuil allows speakers to specify whether a comparison is to be interpreted within the context-at-hand (relative comparison) or as an absolute statement irrespective of the context-at-hand.</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11"> </p>
<h3 class="style11"><a name="Sec6o2o3" id="Sec6o2o3"></a><br />
6.2.3 Comparison Operators (Levels) </h3>
<p align="justify" class="style11">There are nine comparison operators for the Ithkuil verb, called Levels, which specify the comparative relationship involved, e.g., <em>same as, more than, less than</em>, etc. These levels are marked by a word-initial vocalic prefix to the verb, <strong>Ve</strong>. Each prefix comes in two varieties, to distinguish between relative versus absolute comparison. Additionally there is an unmarked default zero-level in which no comparison is being made). The presence of a <strong>Ve</strong> prefix in Slot B of the verbal adjunct requires Slots C And D to be filled by their respective affixes as well.</p>

<p class="style11">Note that in verbal adjuncts where Valence is marked by a word-initial <strong>C<span class="style14">L</span></strong> consonantal prefix in Slot A (see <a href="#Sec6o3o4">Sec. 6.3.4</a>), but there is no Level, the neutral value of <strong>Ve</strong> in Slot B is <strong>ë</strong>.</p>

<h3 align="justify" class="style11">6.2.4 The Comparison Cases</h3>
<p align="justify" class="style11">In addition to Level, there are 24 specialized noun cases which identify the exact nature of the comparison in relation to the quantitative spectrum, range, or standard for the particular attribute, quality, or act in question. These cases are applied to the noun to which something is compared, i.e., the term Y in the above formulas. So, for example, in the Ithkuil translation of the sentence <em>Jane is healthier than her sister</em>, the equivalent to <em>is healthier</em> would be shown by a Level prefix meaning "more than" applied to a formative meaning "manifesting a state of health," while the phrase corresponding to <em>than her sister</em> would be the word <em>sister</em> marked for a case which specifies whether the other noun to which the sister is being compared (i.e., Jane) is now well, or is nevertheless still unhealthy, etc. </p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">It is primarily through the use of these specialized comparison cases that the ambiguities discussed above in <a href="#Sec6o2o1">Sec. 6.2.1</a> are eliminated. The meaning of each case as applied to Y, in terms of the X-M-Y formula discussed above, would be: </p>
<p align="center" class="style11"><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"in comparison to Y, where X Q in terms of reference standard S" </font></strong></p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">where Q indicates the change (or lack thereof) in X over time and S indicates an external standard of comparison for M. An example of this formula in use would be where the term Q = "was previously less M than Y" and S = "although X (still) isn't very M compared to some external standard or expectation of M-ness" applied to the sentence <em>Jane is healthier than Sue</em>, now disambiguated to mean that Jane, while being in a healthier stated than Sue, still isn't very healthy. </p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">There are eight possible values for Q and three possible values for S, rendering a total of 24 possible Q + S combinations. It is these 24 possible Q + S combinations that are rendered as the Comparison cases in Ithkuil. The eight possible values for Q are as follows:</p>

<h3 class="style11">6.2.5 The COS Suffix </h3>
<p align="justify" class="style11">Since Level affixes modify a verb directly, there is still a potential for ambiguity due to the fact that Levels and the Comparison cases specify the relationship between two entities being compared, but they do not specify the particular parameter of the term M. In other words, the verb "laugh" in the SURPASSIVE Level might be best translated as "out-laugh," as in <em>Sam out-laughed George</em>, but we still do not know if this means the laugh was louder, longer, or "harder." Therefore, verbs marked for Levels often take the COS suffix as well, to specify the parameters of the quality or act in question. This suffix is found in the list of derivational suffixes in Chapter 7, but is shown here as well, for the sake of convenience. (See <a href="07_suffixes.html">Chapter 7</a> for an explanation of the nine degrees and three suffix-types associated with derivational suffixes).</p>

</table>
<p align="justify" class="style11">In Chapter 5 we discussed the verbal categories of Mood, Aspect, Bias, Phase, Sanction, Illocution, and Valence, and showed how each of these categories is manifested by various affixes within the structure of a formative. However, the structure of the verbal adjunct, discussed at the beginning of this chapter, allows for each of the aforementioned morphological categories to alternately be displayed via a verbal adjunct rather than a formative. This is often desirable for purposes of phonological euphony or to address the limitations of phonotactic constraints (see <a href="01_phonology.html#Sec1o4">Section 1.4</a>). The sub-sections below discuss the specifics on the alternate representations of these categories via a verbal adjunct.</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11"> </p>
<p align="justify" class="style11"><a name="Sec6o3o1" id="Sec6o3o1"></a></p>
<p align="justify" class="style17">6.3.1 Alternate Representation of Mood and/or Aspect</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">The categories of Mood and Aspect were previously discussed in <a href="05_verbs_1.html#Sec5o2"> Section 5.2</a> and <a href="05_verbs_1.html#Sec5o10">Section 5.10</a> respectively. Mood is normally shown (along with Illocution) via the Ci+Vi infix to a formative in Slot IX, although it can alternately be shown along with Aspect via the <strong> Cs</strong> affix to a formative in Slot III. However, the use of the Cs affix in Slot III of a formative, unless required by the presence of affixes in Slots I or II, is generally undesirable as its presence adds two syllables to the length of the formative. Therefore, as an alternative, Aspect and/or Mood can be conveyed by the same <strong>Cs</strong> affix within a verbal adjunct in Slot E. This <strong>Cs</strong> affix is mandatory for all verbal adjunct. </p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">The second syllable of the <strong>Cs</strong> affix (i.e., the second member of one of the dyssyllabic consonant clusters <strong>l-l</strong>, <strong>m-m</strong>, <strong>n-n</strong>, <strong>ň-<strong>ň</strong></strong>, <strong>r-r</strong>, <strong>l-m</strong>, <strong>l-n</strong>, <strong>r-m</strong>, <strong>r-n</strong>, and <strong>r-<strong>ň</strong></strong>) always receives the syllabic stress and tone in a verbal adjunct.</p>

<p align="justify" class="style11">Bias was previously discussed in <a href="05_verbs_1.html#Sec5o11">Section 5.11</a>, shown by the word-final <strong>Cb</strong> suffix to a formative. As an alternative, however, the same <strong>Cb</strong> suffix can instead be placed in word-final position on a verbal adjunct (in which case a <strong>Vs</strong> affix in Slot F becomes mandatory). The forms of <strong>Cb</strong> used in verbal adjunct are the same as those used with formatives, except that, unlike formatives, there is no preceding glottal stop. See <a href="05_verbs_1.html#Table15">Table 15 in Section 5.11.1</a> for the specific <strong>Cb</strong> suffix for each bias.</p>

</tr>
</table>
<p class="style11">Many languages, including English, are able to combine two separate meanings
into a single verb, a process termed <strong>conflation</strong>. This is illustrated
in the following English sentences:</p>
<blockquote class="style11">
<p>1. <em>He bicycled south. = </em>He traveled south by bicycle.<br />
2. <em>She dolled herself up</em>. = She made herself look as pretty as a
doll.<br />
3. <em>They’re shelving the books</em>. = They’re putting the
books on the shelf/shelves.<br />
4. <em>Slide me a beer</em>. = Give me a beer by sliding it (e.g., along the
bar).</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify" class="style11">The above sentences show four verbs which respectively carry
inherent senses of vector movement, transformation, positioning/placement, and
giving. The patterning of such “conflated” verbs is usually random
and haphazard in any given language. For example, the English <em>to bicycle</em> in sentence (1) means ‘to travel by means of bicycle,’ not ‘to
make a bicycle’ or ‘to be a bicycle.’ On the other hand, the
verb <em>to doll up</em> does not mean to ‘travel by doll,’ but
rather ‘to make appear like a doll.’ Yet, <em>to shelve</em> means
‘to place on a shelf,’ not ‘to travel by means of shelves’
or ‘to make appear like a shelf.’ And none of the verbs in the first
three sentences connotes the idea of giving or conveyance as does <em>slide</em> in sentence (4).</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">As can be seen, verb conflation is essentially a “short-cut”
way of combining an unspoken primary verbal sense (such as movement, transformation,
placement, giving, etc.) with an overtly expressed verb that conveys a secondary
sense such as means, manner, or location. This can be formally notated for our
four sentences above as follows:</p>
<blockquote class="style11">
<p align="justify" class="style37"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">He [1:
(TRAVEL+past tense) south] [2: (BY-MEANS-OF) bicycle] <br />
=<em> <strong>He bicycled south</strong></em>.</font></p>
<p align="justify" class="style37"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">She [1:
(CAUSE-TO-RESEMBLE+past tense+reflexive)] [2: (IN-THE-MANNER-OF) doll] <br />
= <em><strong>She dolled herself up</strong></em>.</font></p>
<p align="justify" class="style37"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">They [1:
(PUT+progressive) the books] [2: (TO-LOCATION-OF) shelves] <br />
= <em><strong>They’re shelving the books</strong></em>.</font></p>
<p align="justify" class="style37"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">[1: (GIVE+imperative)]
a beer [2: (BY-MEANS-OF) sliding] to me <br />
= <em><strong>Slide me a beer</strong></em>.</font></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify" class="style11">Note that the particular unspoken covert and overt senses (shown
by the numerals 1 and 2 in the above analyses) are specific to any given verb
and must be subjectively learned by the listener, i.e., a speaker of English
must learn that <em>to hand</em> means to GIVE by MEANS of one’s hand,
but <em>to shoulder</em> does <strong>not</strong> mean to GIVE by MEANS of
one’s shoulder. </p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">Thus, while conflation of verbs presents a potential opportunity
for instantiating verbs with patterns of overt and covert meaning, the lack
of systemization prevents one from knowing with certainty what pattern to use
when attempting to interpret the usage of a verb form. </p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">Ithkuil systemizes verb conflation into a productive
scheme, in which any formative stem can be incorporated directly into another formative stem. The operational sense of the incorporated stem and its semantic relation to the primary formative stem is conveyed by a morphological category called <strong>format</strong> (discussed in <a href="#Sec6o4o1">Section 6.4.1</a> below). The incorporated stem is shown via the <strong>Cx</strong> and <strong>Vp</strong> affixes in Slots V and VI, where <strong>Cx</strong> indicates the root and <strong>Vp</strong> its Pattern, Stem and Designation. Format is shown as part of the <strong>Vf</strong> prefix which also shows the category of Context (previously discussed in <a href="03_morphology.html#Sec3o6">Section 3.6</a>). <br />

incorporated stem specifies the manner of the primary stem. So for example, when translating the English sentence <em>I’m
speeding through dinner</em> [= eating speedily], the Ithkuil sentence would incorporate the stem corresponding to ‘speed’ into the stem ‘eat’ plus SCHEMATIC format to convey a sentence literally translatable as <em>I'm speed-eating dinner</em> [= eating in a manner characterized by speed.] </p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">Similarly, the Ithkuil translation of <em>Clouds blanketed

<p align="justify" class="style11">For verbs carrying STATIVE Function (see <a href="05_verbs_1.html#Sec5o1o1">Sec. 5.1.1</a>), the SCHEMATIC format indicates that the incorporated stem characterizes the primary stem, i.e., the primary stem has the characteristics, behavior, or acts like the incorporated stem.</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">For verbs carrying MANIFESTIVE Function (see <a href="05_verbs_1.html#Sec5o1o3">Sec. 5.1.3</a>), the SCHEMATIC format indicates that the incorporated is equivalent in identity (i.e., a copula relationship) to the primary stem, i.e., the primary stem is the incorporated stem in an existential sense.</p>
<p align="justify" class="style11">For verbs carrying DESCRIPTIVE Function (see <a href="05_verbs_1.html#Sec5o1o4">Sec. 5.1.4</a>), the SCHEMATIC format indicates that the incorporated has the superficial appearance or physically or (metaphorically) resembles the primary stem, i.e., the primary stem resembles/looks like the incorporated stem.</p>

<h3>6.4.3 Expansion of Format via Specialized Suffixes</h3>
<p class="style11">In addition to the nine formats shown solely by the <strong>V<span class="style37">f</span></strong> vocalic suffix described above in <a href="#Sec6o4o1">Section 6.4.1</a>, the category of Format can be expanded via a set of specialized suffixes, so that an incorporated root can be associated with any of the 72 main noun cases from <a href="04_case.html">Chapter 4</a>. Additionally, these suffixes allow the categories of Configuration (see <a href="03_morphology.html#Sec3o1">Sec. 3.1</a>) and Perspective (see <a href="03_morphology.html#Sec3o4">Sec. 3.4</a>) to be specified for the incorporated root.</p>
<p class="style11">These Format expansion suffixes are of the type VxC (Slot XI) which will be discussed in <a href="07_suffixes.html">Chapter 7</a>. These Format expansion suffixes allow one to specify the exact meaning of a word like “child-love” using the stem for ‘love’ with an incorporated root ‘child’ so that the resulting combinations can distinguish meanings such as:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="style11"><em>the love one has for a child</em><br />
<em>the love one has for a group of children</em><br />
<em>the love one has for children in general</em><br />
<em>the love one has for a pair of children</em><br />
<em>the love a child feels</em><br />
<em>the love that children feel in general</em><br />
<em>love experienced for the sake of a child</em><br />
<em>love experienced for the sake of a group of children</em><br />
<em>love experienced for the sake of children in general</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="style11">The specifics of how these suffixes work are described in <a href="07_suffixes.html#Sec7o4o15">Section 7.4.15</a>.</p>
