Here is a very not-well-done list of all extensions you can find and the way I can explain these in English :

-ert : makes any word an adjective.

-ak : equivalent for "-ness" in English.

-al : equivalent for "-ing". Makes a word an action noun.

-or : equivalent for "-er", as in "stunter" or "hunter".

-aw : equivalent for "-ish", as in "greenish".

-eri : equivalent for "-ist", as in "communist" or "Hinduist".

-eryak : -eri+ak is the equivalent for "-ism", as in "communism" or "Hinduism".

-ar : makes any word an adjective.

-an- : is never the end of a word and is used with -ak, -al, -or, -eri, -eryak, -ar...

These extensions have to be placed on a naked word's end. Example :

Arkbar = to ride

Arkbal = ride (action noun)

Arkbor = one who rides, a rider, a jockey

The next chapter will specifically focus on plurals.
