Yelbipeelaa – (Morpheme)
Yelbipeelaa la yelbigboli naŋ koŋ la baŋ kya eŋ ziiri ayi bee a gaŋe lε kyε naŋ taa pare bee tεgε.
Aseŋ; bie, kogi, gane.

Yelbipeelε parεε e la ayi;

 Yelbipeel sommeŋa (free morpheme)
 Yelbipeel yieme (bound morpheme)

Yelbipeel sommeŋa e la yelbigboli. O e la yelbiri naŋ koŋ la baŋ kya eŋ ziiri ayi bee a gaŋe lε
kyε naŋ taa pare bee tεgε. Aseŋ; baa, saa, lcc, doc ane a taaba

Yelbipeel yieme e la maraa naŋ maŋ mare yelbiri eŋε. Yelbipeel yieme e la yelbie na naŋ koŋ
baŋ are a yoŋ kyε taa tεgε bee pare. Aseŋ; -re, -ŋ, -ri, -ε. A yelbie ama kaŋazaa ba taa pare. Lεnso
ka ba bocla a yelbipeel yieme bonso a koŋ baŋ are a taa tεgε ka a ba dεle bone.

MARRE (Afixation) waa la yelbipeele yieme naŋ maŋ mare yelbipare/yelbipeele sommeŋaŋ ka
a yelbiri leε yelbipaalaa. Yelbipeele yieme/marre parɛɛ mine la ama:
 Niŋe maraa (prefix)
 Kpɛfuraa (infix)
 Puori maraa (suffix)

Niŋe maraa la maraa na naŋ maŋ wa kyɛ ko a yelbipeele sommeŋa. A seŋ bi+bile—bibile, be
+bie— bebie, di+kpoŋ —- dikpoŋ ane a taaba

Kpɛfuraa e la maraa na naŋ maŋ kpε kyage yelbipeelaa sogaŋ. O maŋ kpɛ be la a yelbipeelaa
sensoga a naŋ so k aba bocla o kpεfuraa. A seŋ bie+faa —- bibilfaa. Meŋ bɔ a mine poɔ.

Puori maraa e la maraa na naŋ maŋ wa mare a yelbipeele sommeŋa baaraaŋ. A seŋ
zo+ro — zoro, di+re —– dire, ; laa+re→laare, baa+re→baare, teebo+ε→tebε, bere+ε→berε,
