==== Comparison ====
''chu ADJ ři NOUN'' is used for 'as ADJ as NOUN'.
Comparatives are formed by adding נאס ''năs'' 'more' and אס ''ăs'' 'most' before the comparative form of the adjective, which is usually formed with -ă or palatalization + -ă: ףוֹאר, נאס-ףוֹאר'א, אס-ףוֹאר'א  ''fuar, năs-fuařă, ăs-fuařă'' 'cold, colder, coldest'. adjectives of Hebrew and Aramaic origin don't palatalize: מיאוס, נאס-מיאוסא ''mies, năs-miesă'' 'bad'.
There is no tense change for comparatives unlike in Irish where ''níos mó'' 'bigger' changes to ''ní ba mó'' in the past tense.
מוֹר - נאס-מוֹא - אס-מוֹא ''mur - năs-mua - ăs-mua'' = big - bigger - biggest
