Vyh. simply adds -af- to the verbal stem, and any
suffixes (eg, -oo, expressing "hope") go after the
negation indicator.  Of course, prefixes are not
disturbed.

 luuln     "I think"
 luulnaf   "I don't think"

 luuloo    "may s/he think"
 luulafoo  "may s/he not think"

 rrhaux'yyitauxl   "s/he arrived"
 rrhaux'yyitauxlaf "s/he didn't arrived"

 gkja:a:a: "I hope s/he dances"
 gkja:afoo "I hope s/he doesn't dance"

 yyitheildy'y!
    "Participate!"
 yyitheildafoo!
    "Don't participate!"

Now, this is quite simple but creative!  I like it in
theory; but in actuality, there's any icky feeling for
me with saying "high-high" to mean "low"...

IN VYH.
gkjoe       = eat
gkjoeaf     = not eat
yyigkjoe    = over-eat
ppe         = vomit (for any reason)
rrhuuo      = puke (ie, a bit vulgar for "vomit")
yyirrhuuo   = spew (vomit everyone, uncontrollably)
yyigkjoeppe = throw up (due to over-eating)
ooegkjoe    = refrain from eating (for any reason)
ooegkjoeppe = throw up (due to lack of food)
hyvooegkjoe = fast (at one's own volition)
hyvyyigkjoe = binge (ie, over-eat at one's volition)

Note, the following are each one character in Vyh:
oe  [sounds like a schwa],
rrh [a thrilled r with a slight huff at the end],
uu  [long /u/],
yy  [long /Y/],
kj  [/j/ but which is /k:j/ is preceded by g]
aux [like Danish o/slash]
ei  [/ej/]
