Morphology
The morphology in Hoshimepe is basic, having a building-block-like design.
Take for example the word Canyon. It can't be split into smaller morphemes in english, but the word いけーれんぜ (Canyon) - in Hoshimepe Ike-renze".
いけ - Vast
れんぜ - Bowl
So Canyon can be split into two morphemes, Vast and Bowl. If you think really abstractly, a canyon is just a vast bowl.
