relftaga means carefree
otaga means careful
fertaga means careless
Which word could mean "aftercare"?
In this language, the root word taga, which means care, follows the affix (relf, o–, or fer–). Therefore, in the word aftercare, the root word and the affix would be reversed in the artificial language. The only choice, then, is tagazen, because tagafer would mean less care.
