There is, however, a limited amount of exceptions, in which the root is not expanded by any suffix, by having a clear noun role.
There are, however, many other suffixes and prefixes that can expand the root, especially when the root has a clear noun role and it is not expanded by the main adjectival suffix.


Nouns do decline, according to their role in the sentence for '''case'''. They also distinguish two morphological numbers, '''singular''', and '''plural'''.

All adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify, being declined with the nominal endings.  
All adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify, being declined with the nominal endings.  
In number agreement, adjectives select the plural ending according to the semantical distinction between animate and inanimate of the nouns they specify. In some texts, conversely, adjectives firmly select the inanimate endings, even when specifying an animate noun.
kiibeže tterniže
<small>the young men</small>
kiibehii tterniže
<small>the young men</small>

The adjective

As already mentioned, the word root has a (C)VC structure. When taking an adjective role, the root is usually expanded by the adjectival suffix -i-. 

ʂojɽ- → ʂojɽ- + -i- → ʂojɽi
narrowness → narrow

There are, however, many other suffixes and prefixes that can expand the root, especially when the root has a clear noun role and it is not expanded by the main adjectival suffix. 

ṫiʡ- → ṫiʡ- + -ri- → ṫiʡri
human → human

All adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify, being declined with the nominal endings.

Declension of qualifying adjectives
