Kzmr compounding usually undergoes a type of sandhi where multisyllabic words in which the last epenthetic vowel was originally unstressed, the following word does not begin with //H// or //∅//, and the last consonant is not already //∅//, have //∅// appended.

~~==== Noelle Era ====~~

Many multimorphemic words in Kzmr are formed by compounding; the resultant words are classified into various types based on the nature of the compound. The vocative strategy of compounding, inherited from Proto-Ukilen, is in modern Kzmr only one of several. The types are as follows:

==== ~~Modern Baphia~~ ====

==== Verbal-nominal and pseudoverbal-nominal (*''Tatpuruṣa'') ====

=~~= Diaphonology ==~~

One common form of compound is the the verbal-nominal, stemming from a verb participle followed by a noun taking one of the seven oblique cases in Kzmr to create an adjective:

{| class="wikitable"

|+ Caption text

|-

! Word !! Translation !! Case

|-

| mhsn'innmþþgi || killing hyenas || Accusative

|-

| kksn'axxdv'i || fighting for Sirius, fighting on behalf of Sirius || Dative

|-

| tgbn'akrtšku || forged out of steel || Genitive

|-

| 'rnn'iddžbrd || having come from the mountains || Ablative

|-

| mhsnnizkrtmv || having been killed with a lance || Locative/Instrumental

|-

| bþrn'annrþhni || facing towards the stars || Allative

|-

| shdn'itrgzi || standing in the road || Adessive

|}

The pseudoverbal-nominal is a similar construction in which the verb is replaced with a deverbal noun which can be given a case, such as ''mhscsi'bhg'' "patricidist" and ''mhscsvi'bhg'' "to the patricidist".

Kzmr word order is primarily VSO.
