| 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-'''.
| | Adjectival roots have the same structure as the nominal roots, namely '''''CVCV'''''. Attributive adjectives are always placed '''before''' the nouns they specify, while predicative adjectives are always placed ''after'' them. |

| | The si accordano ad essa in caso e numero in fase unitaria tarda. Non è chiaro se l’accordo venga realizzato anche in fase arcaica, dato che alcuni particolari aggettivi non realizzano alcun accordo con il nome ancora in fase tarda. |
| <small>''narrowness'' → ''narrow''</small>
| |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | È possibile derivare morfologicamente aggettivi dalle radici nominali aggiungendo il morfema derivativo -ko. |
| | |
| '''ṫiʡ-''' → '''ṫiʡ-''' + '''-ri-''' → '''ṫiʡri'''
| |
| <small>''human'' → ''human''</small>
| |
| | |
| All adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify, being declined with the nominal endings.

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

Adjectives
Adjectival roots have the same structure as the nominal roots, namely CVCV. Attributive adjectives are always placed before the nouns they specify, while predicative adjectives are always placed after them.
The si accordano ad essa in caso e numero in fase unitaria tarda. Non è chiaro se l’accordo venga realizzato anche in fase arcaica, dato che alcuni particolari aggettivi non realizzano alcun accordo con il nome ancora in fase tarda.
È possibile derivare morfologicamente aggettivi dalle radici nominali aggiungendo il morfema derivativo -ko.
