How the form is built
No root relation is asserted in this public record.
Academic teaching rationale
The copula 'ser' (T-series) suffixes ARE the adjective-forming machinery: any abstract noun + -ti(m)/-tu(f)/-tinu(pl.m)/-tina(pl.f) yields the matching quality-adjective; the vowel encodes gender (i=masculine, u=feminine). Example: gudemei -> gudemeti / gudemetu = poverty -> poor (m) / poor (f)
