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.
çōbārɛ wīrurɛ rēhu sōgu mēhiws hūm biwgu bjɛčiw the young man’s new house is located in the nearby village
Declension of qualifying adjectives
Example: rēhu, new
| rēhuliw | rēhuhiwliw | rēhunuliw | |

| rēhurɛ | rēhuhiwrɛ | rēhunurɛ | |
| rēhuxjɛ | rēhuhiwxjɛ | rēhunuxjɛ | |
| rēhuku | rēhuhiwku | rēhunuku | |
| rēhukjɛ1 | rēhuhiwkjɛ1 | rēhunukjɛ1 | |
1 These forms are deemed as obsolete and rapidly vanishing from current usage.
