CORRELATIVES

This is the same concept as Esperanto correlatives, and they work basically the same way... only difference is, Glazorthian has a lot more of 'em.

Table of Prefixes & Suffixes

And what parts of speech they form

Examples:
TRO SQUEL? [Trô sQUèl] Who are you?
CHELVIK, QUIM FORG YIKANG FRIL KLARF [CHèlVìK, QUìm ForG YìKàng Frìl KlarF] the person who ate this fish

FRINT means "therefore" and TRINT means "because". YIM means "something", and can also mean "thing".

There is also a system of possessive pronoun correlatives that can be used with a few of the above suffixes, most commonly -IL and -IM:
PONNAT- [PòNuhT] my other
TRONNAT- [TròNuhT] your other
NGONNAT- [NGòNuhT] his/her/hir/its other
POINAT- [PoiNuhT] our other
TROINAT- [TroiNuhT] y'all's other
NGOINAT- [NGoiNuhT] their other

Example:
PONNATIL EXMARF PORSHUH [PòNuhTìl èKS.MarF PorSHuh] My other spaceship is a Porsche.

Case endings can be added to some of the correlatives:
SQUELLON? [sQUèLòn] Whose?
KLIMP, FOOF YIKIP QUIMOONT [KlìmP, FûF YìKìP QUìMûnT] the fork I was eating with
ZELIG [ZèLìG] for no one
PONNATIMIXING [PòNuhTìMìKSìng] inside mine
YORBLIZ [YorBlìZ] to some degree
TRIZZOWIF [TrìZow.ìF] from that direction

KATEL (the other person) can be used as a third-person pronoun to contrast with NGAA and distinguish between two people:
JON QUA JAK FORG SHEMMANGO KLARFOID. [Jòn QUah JàK ForG SHèMàngGô KlarFoiD] John and Jack had fish.
JON FORG YIKANG NGON KLARF. [Jòn ForG YìKàng NGòn KlarF] John ate his own fish.
JON FORG YIKANG KATELLON KLARF. [Jòn ForG YìKàng KuhTèLòn KlarF] John ate his (Jack's) fish.
This is somewhat the reverse of many Earth languages, which have a special pronoun for "his own" and use simple "his" to mean "the other guy's".
