====Irregular adjectives==== | ====Irregular adjectives==== | ||
"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/> | |||
These words are: | |||
* The possessives: '''''liliā''''' - ''lilem'' - ''liles'' (my, mine), '''''sāmiā''''' - ''sāmim'' - ''sāmes'' (your(s) (sg)), '''''tamiā''''' - ''tamim'' - ''tames'' (his, her(s), its), '''''meyā''''' - ''meyem'' - ''meyes'' (our(s)), '''''negā''''' - ''negem'' - ''neges'' (your(s) (pl)), '''''tašñā''''' - ''tašñem'' - ''tašñes'' (their(s)) | |||
* The Classical/modern demonstratives: '''''nenė''''' - ''nenayem'' - ''nenayes'' (proximal), '''''nunū''''' - ''numvem'' - ''numves'' (medial), '''''nanā''''' - ''nanām'' - ''nanās'' (distal) | |||
* The archaic demonstratives: '''''ami''''' - ''em'' - ''es'' (proximal), '''''uteni''''' - ''utam'' - ''utas'' (medial), '''''āteni''''' - ''ātam'' - ''ātas'' (distal) | |||
* All compounds with one of these (most commonly ''ami''). | |||
Their main declensional paradigm is the same for all except the parrot forms of ''nenė'' and ''nunū''. Note that ''ami'', ''uteni'' and ''āteni'' keep the palatalization also in the locative case (e.g. ''amiea'').<br/> | |||
Only the first five cases are present for dragon and lotus genders, as the other forms are the same as in the parrot one. ''liliā'' is used as example here: | |||
