====· Comparatives==== | |||
Comparative constructions have the ''compared-to'' term affixed with the suffix ''-los''. In this case, the modified noun precedes the "adjective", i.e. the ''comparative construction'' (adjective plus compared-to noun or noun phrase). The adjective is prefixed with ''de-'', from ''det''. | |||

|- | |||

The structure of the comparative construction is: | |||
{| class="wikitable style="margin:0 0 0 1em; allign:right; text-align:center;" | |||
|- | |||
! [X] || (is) || {{sc|er}}-[α] || [Y]-{{sc|than}} | |||
|- | |||
| (theme, what is being described) || (is) || {{sc|more}}-[adjective] || [compared-to-noun]''-los'' | |||
|- | |||
|} | |||
For example: | |||
{| class="wikitable style="margin:0 0 0 1em; allign:right;" | |||
|- | |||
| colspan="3"|‹''gangr de-som þanelos''› | |||
