Examples

, .

Parizo.

The author of the novel lived in Paris.

A false friend worth flagging: is a novel, not a Roman and not a romance. A Roman is only in the sense of an inhabitant of Rome, Romo, and careful writers avoid the clash by writing -o or simply naming the city. Love as a genre is amrakonto or amromano. The verb for producing one is , to author, rather than plain , which is the physical act of writing letters on a page. A novelist is a o, built with the -- suffix that marks a person by trade.
