Adjectives are not their own class of words, but are derived from nouns or verbs. Most often they are derived by zero-marking before other nouns or verbs, or with particles. | Adjectives are not their own class of words, but are derived from nouns or verbs. Most often they are derived by zero-marking before other nouns or verbs, or with particles. Some of these derived adjectives and adverbs have meanings that don't directly correspond to the word they are derived from; in most cases this is due to homophony in ancestral [[Wascotl]] words after dropping of the adjective suffix ''*-osc'', for example ''toc'' "knife" or "sharp" from Wascotl ''*tequ-(ati)'' and ''*tequ-osc'' respectively. | ||
