Countries in Bakom

paypop — [n] nation

ciw — [n] city

payciw — [n] citystate

yusel — [vs] independent; free

kapol — [n] municipality

hakpol — [n] sovereignty i hakpol — [vs] sovereign ni hakpol — [vs] nonsovereign Most countries are named using compounding bases (Bakom: rabako josem) and a modifying root. For instance, the modifying root for “India” is barat, and the compounding base is pay “country”, so the name for India is paybarat. Different compounding bases may be used depending on the exact nature of the polity in question. Pay is used for countries, suy “zone/region” for territories, ciw “city” for city-states, and in general no prefix is used for countries named with di “land (of)”, although there are a few exceptions.

Prefixes may be abbreviated and written separately from the modifying root. So, in Roman, Cyrillic, and Arabic: pay becomes P / П / پ suy becomes S / С / س ciw becomes C / Ч / چ Thus, paybarat becomes P barat, and suybamut (Bermuda) becomes S bamut. When the word is part of the name and not a prefix, it may not be abbreviated, as in paysemamik “the United States of America” or paymeksem birit me diirin “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland”.

Demonyms (the name for a person from a particular country) are formed with the word in “person”. Paysumal “Somalia” becomes inpaysumal “Somalian (person)”.

Adjectives meaning “of X country” are formed with the stative verb e “of”. Payduc “Germany” becomes e payduc “German”.

Some countries’ names are calques (literal translations) rather than based on the sound of the country’s name. For these countries, I’ve written translations below the name.

Pronunciation:

It should be noted that stress always falls on the last vowel of a word, and a glottal stop (like the sound in uh-oh) is optionally pronounced whenever a vowel is not preceded by a consonant, such as before atu in wanuatu.
