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

Examples: səjmi, young, and nupʰi, new, with a semantically animate noun, rome, father, and a semantically inanimate noun, tojme, house.
