How does one express "-ed" or "-t" in verb-to-adjective words like 'shaded', 'burnt", 'loved' (adjective form of 'beloved'), or 'bloodied'? This was a serious issue for me while writing for the community project, and I still need help.

It can either be left to context or with the suffix -aan.

Agaan kopraan "a burnt corpse," or kopraan lost ag "the corpse was burnt."

Ein/dein. Was changed to "-maar" a while ago. Idk if it was deleted or not

Is "-vu" canon? Someone please answer.

It's specifically marked on the list as semi-canon.

Correct, -vu is semi-canon. It was invented to prevent confusion in nouns that end with n, where the suffix -nu "-less" would be indistinguishable from the possessive suffix -u "our." For example, without -vu, frinu as "heatless" would be indistinguishable from frinu "our heat."

Thanks, but I don't quite understand. Wouldn't "frin" with "-nu" be "frinnu"? Of course the only difference is gemination, but you yourself said gemination was possible (with plurals). It's phonologically easier to lengthen a nasal than move into a fricative, right?

The longstanding thought was that gemination doesn't occur outside of plural nouns, but we don't really know whether or not that's the case. If you're going for a purely canon translation, then you would use -nu. Otherwise, -vu exists as an alternative to prevent possible confusion.

It could change, perhaps -tu would work better.

Yup, that is why the old suffix -iil was deleted. The equivalent suffix is now -uv.

If I am understanding this properly, does this mean that -iil is no longer used to express the possession of 'your'? I've been immersing myself in the "Learn the Dragon Language" pages and just began the Memrise course that is linked under the Learn tab. According to the "Learn ... Language" page, -iil is used to express the possession of 'your'. Does this mean that the "Learn..." page is now wrong, or am I just in a big misunderstanding? If it IS wrong, then is there plans to update the "Learn..." pages if possible?

Sorry for the confusion, -iil as meaning "your" is 100% canon and is correct to use that way. This was in reference to an invented, adjective suffix -iil that is unrelated to the possessive suffix shown in the lessons.
