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.
