Is it possible, through the use of suffixes or by any other way,

<p>I would be more likely to invoke <b>Dogh</b> or <b>lI'be'</b>
or something like that.</p>
<p>I suppose you could say something like <b>DujlIj vInuS</b><i> I
ridicule your ship,</i> but why are you informing the listener
about your ridicule rather than actually doing the ridiculing?</p>
<p>My wife uses the word <i>ridiculous</i> so vaguely and
frequently that I can never tell whether she's saying something is
good or bad. "That price was ridiculous!" is something she might
say, and I can't tell if she means the thing was surprisingly
cheap or insanely expensive. Exactly what meaning of <i>ridiculous</i>
are you looking for? Use it in context.<br>
