Color and defect adjectives follow a different declension: ''eaħmir'' 'red' has f.sg. and pl. ''ħamre''. Color adjectives from Irish do use the plural form as the feminine singular: ''celb lìaṫ'' /cɛlb liɐh/ 'a gray dog', ''moȝze liaṫ'''a''''' /moɐzə liɐhə/ 'a gray goat'.

Adverbs formed from adjectives use ''cel-/cel{{cll}}-'' (moon) or ''ceC-'' (sun) followed by the masculine sg. form of the adjective. An alternative construction for adverbs, common in written language, is ''be treò'' [ADJ.m.sg] or ''be sliġe'' /bəʃliːjə/ [ADJ.f.sg], from ''be'' 'instrumental' + Irish ''treo'' 'direction'/''sliġe'' 'way'.
Adverbs formed from adjectives use the unmarked form, as in Levantine Arabic. An alternative construction for adverbs, common in written language, is ''be treò'' [ADJ.m.sg] or ''be sliġe'' /bəʃliːjə/ [ADJ.f.sg], from ''be'' 'instrumental' + Irish ''treo'' 'direction'/''sliġe'' 'way'.


In adjectives ending in non-emphatic ''r'' in the masculine form, the feminine and plural form takes emphatic ''R'': ''gas{{cll}}ìr'' (''GəSī́r'') 'short (m.sg.)', ''gas{{cll}}ìra'' (''GəSī́Rə'') 'short (f.sg. or pl.)'.
