Suffix types

There are a total of 15 types of suffixes, 10 verb suffixes and 5 noun suffixes. Unlike their counterpart, the prefix, they are attached at the end of the word they modify, but one must always keep the correct suffix type order(1). A change of suffix order is never permitted, no matter how you think it may change the meaning of a sentence. The result maybe ambiguous indeed. A difference of meaning can only be done by giving emphasis to a syllable.
