==== Diminutive, intensive and feminisation ====
These are used to show something to a smaller degree: the suffix -amne or -mne can be added as a suffix to noun, verb or modifier. This can be doubled to further diminuate the word concerned. For example, '''luwayeet''' (man) becomes '''luwayeetamne''' (small man) which can become '''luwayeetamnemne''' (a very small or pathetic man). Double diminutive are often used as pejoratives.
Intensive forms have the suffix -gur or -agur. intensive word form is one which denotes stronger, more forceful, or more concentrated action relative to the root on which the intensive is built. For example: '''Manje''' (eat) becomes '''manjegur''' (devour) becomes '''manjegurgur''' (consume gluttonously). Double intensives are also pejoratives in many cases.
Packilvanian does not have sex-based grammatical gender but a suffix can be added to a word to feminise it. -'''Elea''' and -lea are the official root however a simple -a, -ia and -lia have been used to effeminise words. Non-feminised words also use the latter three at their ends. For example lumedichi (doctor) becomes lumedichilea (female doctor). Feminisation applied to men is regarded as a pejorative.
