 Like nouns, adjectives are pluralized in ''-(e)x''.
+====Comparative and superlative====
+The comparative is formed with the suffix ''-iore(n)'' which replaces the adjective's final vowel. The glide ''-i-'' causes the same sound changes to labialized and coronal consonants as those experienced by Class 5 verbs.
+The superlative is formed with the suffix ''-esmo(n)/a(n)''.
+Some adjectives ending in velar consonants palatalize them before the comparative and superlative suffixes, while some maintain their pronunciation.
+Additionally, some adjectives have stem changes in stressed syllables (similar to those of verbs).
+Some common adjectives have irregular comparatives and superlatives.
+Due to the above reasons, the citation form of adjectives is usually "base form, comparative, superlative".
+===Adverbs===
+====Manner adverbs====
+There are two main ways of deriving manner adverbs from adjectives:
+#Adjectives ending in ''-o(n)/a(n)'': Replace the final vowel with ''-e(d)''
+#Adjectives ending in ''-e(n)'': Replace the final vowel with ''-ter'' (with penultimate stress).
+#*Assimilation applies as it does in the past participle. Expected ''-tt-'' is simplified to ''-t-'' after consonants.
+====Comparative and superlative====
+Before adding comparative and superlative suffixes, the final vowel (or, in the case of ''-ter'' adverbs, the final ''-er'') of the adverb is removed if present.
+The comparative is formed with the suffix ''-iox''. The glide ''-i-'' causes the same sound changes to labialized and coronal consonants as those experienced by Class 5 verbs.
+The superlative is formed with the suffix ''-esme''.
+Some adverbs ending in velar consonants palatalize them before the comparative and superlative suffixes, while some maintain their pronunciation.
+Additionally, some adverbs have stem changes in stressed syllables (similar to those of verbs).
+Some common adverbs have irregular comparatives and superlatives.
+Due to the above reasons, the citation form of adverbs is usually "base form, comparative, superlative".
