Words ending in ts will have those last two letter truncated when prefixed to another word. Thus:
dedants (different) dedanchaats (mismatched)
degants (defeated) deganchaats (wreck)
gilts (capture) gilzarn (sound reception)

When words are prefixed/suffixed, if two vowels become adjacent, the second vowel will be dropped. Thus:
utomi (see) + eskes (understand) utomiskes (display!)

There seems to be, at this point, no clear rules as to prefix/suffix appropriation. It appears to be up to the individual speaker. Adding eskes to a verb appears to make a command out of it. Thus while utomi is best translated as see, utomiskes seems to represent the command display.
