Adjectives in Vadi precede their heads. In terms of morphology, there are no special affixes that distinguish them from either nouns or verbs. Iyyaħmi believes they may trigger mutation, but admits that further analysis is needed. Interestingly, and unfortunately, the Scriptum contain far fewer adjectives than one would expect in such a significant corpora, and the ones that do occur are mostly in the forms of insults found in the [[Vadi#Ad-Hominems and Other Insults|''Waškixrapmakirimērumbustikmaban'']]. Unfortunately, even the texts in the ''Waškixrapmakirimērumbustikmaban'' contain relatively few adjectives, not enough for Iyyaħmi to definitively say that a mutation has occurred or not. | Adjectives in Vadi precede their heads.

Moreover, the adjectives that are found occur in phonemic environments that are unlikely to trigger sound changes. One such example from the corpora follows: | ||
