Adjectives and pronouns

Adjectives closely resemble the noun form, mostly ending in a vowel and showing the same exceptions of nouns. Pronouns, instead, may exhibit different forms in the root form.

Adjectives

Both attributive and predicative adjectives are always placed after the nouns they specify, with a few exception.

līro jōpā
the young man

ʔəɳ līro jōpā
the man is young

All adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify, being declined with the nominal endings. They thus display a complete declension set, not belonging inherently to one of the two classes.

mēʔiəs sōgo rēʔo līrora jōpār ʔūm ləḱiə piəko
the young man’s new house is located in the nearby village
