The default meaning of using a dimension word (e.g. width, height, size, weight) as an adjective in Lilitika results in a minimal form, e.g. evegzí (small) from evegze (size). To create a "large" word, the generic prefix kel- ("great") must be added on (i.e. kelevegzí), and for "medium," a negation is performed with al(e|é|ez)-, (i.e. alvegzí). This originates in a cultural background that encouraged and normalized modesty.
