The phrase "Teigaten k'iea" is NOT equivalent to the phrase "Iea aya teigaten". Even though both literally mean "I have some boats",  [Top Source Media](https://www.vitelgrid.app/leacarey964937/topsourcemedia1711/wiki/Azure-Blob-Storage-Image-Bulk-Optimization) the first phrase implies OWNERSHIP, while the second implies physical POSSESSION.

+<br>There are several more derivatives! I. Standard (Informal) Conjugation: Verbs conjugated in the standard/informal manner are hard coded for tense as well as for voice. The passive voice is RARELY used in standard/informal. Also, pronouns may or not precede a conjugated verb in standard/informal form. As a general rule, they DO precede in talking or writing to non-intimates and DO NOT in talking/writing to intimates. Conjugated verbs without pronoun precedents are hard-coded for person. Without pronoun precedent aiaroeo/aiaroea aiaroeon/aiaroean/aiaroen aiarono/aiarona aiaronon/aiaronan/aiaronen aiaroao/aiaroaa/aiaroae aiaroaon/aiaroaan/aiaroaen II. Non-Standard (Formal) Conjugation Verbs conjugated in the non-standard/formal manner are hard coded for ONLY voice. And, voice is ALWAYS passive in this form. Tense is "soft-coded"; a tense marker is put forth either as part of a sentence, or as a statement all to itself. The first style is characteristic of dialogue, while the second is of formal writings and decrees. HORRIBLE GRAMMAR) Pronouns ALWAYS precede a conjugated verb in non-standard/informal form. Therefore, verbs conjugated in this form do not require pronoun flags.<br>

+<br>Note: The following conjugation is "general formal"; used by social equals. Numbering System Dragons (shapechangers, at least -- regular dragons don't really have much use for a numbering system) believe that the existence of Ea is based on numbers. Therefore, their numbering system is based on directional affixes joined to numerical suffixes. 1,666 are expressed by joining numbers in equations by the use of either "da" (from "danne" - to add) or "bue" (from "buenne" - to multiply). 16,000 Numbers in series are separated by "elh", and the series is terminated by "elb". Example: Aagapaan da baa elh digapun bue baa elh gaban elb digabaan. Ordinal numbers are represented by placing a dash "-" between the number and the modified word. For anyone who might want a copy of all the numbers from 0 to 1,666, worked out and suitable for framing, please give me a yell via e-mail.
