Adjective formation:

• If a word has a long U before the final vowel, infix -uTh-/-uDh- before the U
• If the last vowel of the original word is short, and the second last vowel is long; shorten the long vowel and elongate the short vowel
• If the word doesn't end with a velar plosive (K, G):
  Add -aM/-iM/-uM suffix, suffix vowel should agree with the preceeding vowel.

Adverb formation:

Use Adjectives to form Adverbs, unless the required Adjective is non-existant

If a word starts with two plosives separated by an H, remove the first plosive and the H

Add an i at the end of the word

If the -a/i/u + M ending was added while forming the adjective, replace the vowel before the M with an i (BuLuM -> BuLiMi)
