{- Lee & Ramsey 2000, p. 24-25:
The difference in the way these words are written has to do with the productivity of the suffix. While the suffixes -um and -i can be used relatively freely to derive nouns from verbs and adjectives, the others cannot. In the mind of the speaker (and the user of the orthography), the words wus-um laughter and noph-i height can be thought of as regular derivations of the verb wus- and the adjective noph-, much as are the predicative forms wus-uni, wus-ela, noph-ase, and noph-umyen. But words like makay stopper (morphologically mak+ay, but written as ma+kay) and mutem grave are not derived productively. The decision to write them without showing the suffix separated was based upon the assumption that most people think of them as single, indivisible words. Their etymologies were thought not to be obvious.
