  1. Output word in (1) as the input to process in (2)

Government –> governmented, statement –> statemented ,commencement –> commencemented. Looking at the words I have created from using outputs and inputs from different categories, I first of all do not think they are well formed words, also they do not look and sound like already existing words. In my opinion I believe in order to change categories of words from one to another, you have to start with plain or standard words; words that have no affixes added to them and from there you can build on changing it into whatever otherwise a combination of two affixes sometimes clashes resulting in the word sounding odd.
