Adjectives and pronouns

Adjectives closely resemble the noun form, 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 very few exceptions.

ʔinu̥r ure̥hli 
(the) young man
jane̥ne ʔinu̥r ure̥hli
(the) man is young

All adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify, being declined with the nominal endings. Adjectives are declined in number by following the same rules as the nouns, often displaying similar irregularities.
