*Falling: ''ai, ei, oi, au, eu, ou''
*Falling: ''ai, ei, oi, au, eu, ou''


Note that the glide in falling diphthongs is usually realized as palatalization (in the case of ''-i-'') or labialization (in the case of ''-u-'').
Note that the glide in rising diphthongs is usually realized as palatalization (in the case of ''-i-'') or labialization (in the case of ''-u-'').

Like nouns, adjectives are pluralized in ''-(e)x''.
Like nouns, adjectives are pluralized in ''-(e)x''.
====Comparative and superlative====
The comparative is formed with the suffix ''-iore(n)'' which replaces the adjective's final vowel. The glide ''-i-'' causes the same sound changes to labialized and coronal consonants as those experienced by Class 5 verbs.
The superlative is formed with the suffix ''-esmo(n)/a(n)''. When an adjective's stem ends in ''-r-'' or ''-l-'', it combines with the superlative suffix to form ''-(e)rmo(n)/a(n)'' or ''-(e)lmo(n)/a(n)'' respectively (where ''-(e)-'' is added when the ''-r-'' or ''-l-'' is preceded by a consonant).
Some adjectives ending in velar consonants palatalize them before the comparative and superlative suffixes, while some maintain their pronunciation.
Additionally, some adjectives have stem changes in stressed syllables (similar to those of verbs).
Some common adjectives have irregular comparatives and superlatives.
Due to the above reasons, the citation form of adjectives is usually "base form, comparative, superlative".
===Adverbs===
====Manner adverbs====
There are two main ways of deriving manner adverbs from adjectives:
#Adjectives ending in ''-o(n)/a(n)'': Replace the final vowel with ''-e(d)''
#Adjectives ending in ''-i(n)'', ''e(n)'', or another vowel: Replace the final vowel with ''-ter'' (with penultimate stress).
#*Assimilation applies as it does in the past participle. Expected ''-tt-'' is simplified to ''-t-'' after consonants.
====Comparative and superlative====
Before adding comparative and superlative suffixes, the final vowel (or, in the case of ''-ter'' adverbs, the final ''-er'') of the adverb is removed if present.
The comparative is formed with the suffix ''-iox''. The glide ''-i-'' causes the same sound changes to labialized and coronal consonants as those experienced by Class 5 verbs.
The superlative is formed with the suffix ''-esme(d)''. This suffix undergoes the same sound changes as the corresponding adjective suffix.
Some adverbs ending in velar consonants palatalize them before the comparative and superlative suffixes, while some maintain their pronunciation.
Additionally, some adverbs have stem changes in stressed syllables (similar to those of verbs).
Some common adverbs have irregular comparatives and superlatives.
Due to the above reasons, the citation form of adverbs is usually "base form, comparative, superlative".

# Before a glide ''-i-'', labialized consonants lose their labialization. This applies in the 1S for Class 2, 4, and 5 verbs and the 3P for Class 4 & 5 verbs. Additionally, Class 4 & 5 verbs whose stems end in coronal consonants undergo stem changes in the 1S and 3P forms:

#Verbs whose stem end in velar stops (''-c-'' or ''-g-'') maintain their spelling throughout the present indicative regardless of whether that would result in a "hard" or "soft" pronunciation. On the other hand, verbs whose stem ends in ''-ch-'' or ''-gh-'' drop the ''-h-'' when they are not followed by front vowels.

Due to historical sound changes, there may also be consonant changes. Some examples include:
Due to historical sound changes, there may also be consonant changes. Some examples include:
*Addition of ''g-'' in the stressed stem.
*Addition of ''g-'' in the stressed stem.
**This happens in both types of breaking verbs when the unstressed stem begins in a vowel. In such verbs, ''e'' and ''o'' become ''gia'' and ''gua'' respectively when stressed.  
**This happens in both types of breaking verbs when the unstressed stem begins in a vowel. In such verbs, ''e-'' and ''o-'' become ''gia-'' and ''gua-'' respectively when stressed.

*Delabialization of labialized consonants such as ''gu-, qu-, du-'', etc. in the stressed stem.
**This happens as a rule in ''e'' > ''ia'' verbs.  
**This happens as a rule in ''e'' > ''ia'' verbs (e.g. unstressed ''gue-'' becomes stressed ''ghia-'' instead of ''*guia-'').  
**It also happens in ''o'' > ''ua'' verbs, but this can instead be analyzed as the merging of the two labializations.
**In ''o'' > ''ua'' verbs, the two labializations are merged (e.g. unstressed ''guo-'' becomes stressed ''gua-'' and not *''guua-'').


====Assimiliation====
====Assimiliation====
=====Infinitive=====
=====Infinitive=====
Class 3 and 4 verbs whose stems end in certain consonants assimilate the ''-r-'' of the infinitive into the final consonant. The assimilation has one of the following results depending on the stem structure:
Class 3 and 4 verbs whose stems end in certain consonants assimilate the ''-r-'' of the infinitive into the final consonant. The assimilation has one of the following results depending on the stem structure:
*If the stem ends in a single ''-s, -r,'' or ''-l'' preceded by a vowel: ''-r-'' is merged with the consonant causing it to be doubled.
*If the stem ends in a single ''-s, -r,'' ''-l,'' or ''-n'' preceded by a vowel: ''-r-'' is merged with the consonant causing it to be doubled.
*If the stem ends in ''-r'' or ''-l'' that is double or preceded by a consonant: ''-r-'' is dropped.
*If the stem ends in ''-r,'' ''-l,'' or ''-n'' that is double or preceded by a consonant: ''-r-'' is dropped.
Note that ''-r-'' is neither dropped nor assimilated when it occurs after ''-s'' when it is doubled or occurs after a consonant.

In regular past participles of Class 3 & 4 verbs:
*A voiced stop is devoiced before ''-t-''. Voiced fricatives are also devoiced, but this does not reflect in the orthography except in the case of ''-v-'', which becomes ''-f-''.

====Negation====
Negation of verbs is accomplished with ''ho(d/G)'' or (rarely) ''ne''. Both of these particles precede the verb.
Alternatively, negation may be accomplished by using a negative word.
Double negation is not used in formal language.
