intensifier.

kel–, pre. Intensifier. When used with an adjective indicating a small or modest amount of something, indicates that a large amount is present instead, e.g. kelegní and egní. Usually these adjectives derive from a word indicating a dimension, (in this example, egnu.) The antonym of kel- in practice is genda- (no amount). The idea that the neutral adjective derived from a quality should be a small amount is a result of the threads of material conservatism and aesthetic minimalism that underlie early Lilitic culture.
