| Line 247: | Line 247: | ||
"Irregular" adjectives are a closed group of words that have their own declensional paradigm. They are all declined for gender (though only in direct, vocative, accusative, ergative, and genitive) but ''not'' for number. Unlike other adjectives, the citation form is the ''parrot gender'' and not the dragon; they end in ''-iā'' or ''-i'' in parrot direct, ''-em'' (rarely ''-im'' or ''-am'') in lotus direct, and ''-es'' (rarely ''-as'') in dragon direct.<br/> | "Irregular" adjectives are a closed group of words that have their own declensional paradigm.
