The comparative form is the same for both masculine and feminine nouns, but in the plural the two forms are different: ''arydhŷnoe'' vs. ''arydhŷnae''. The ''-y-'' of the ending ''-yn'' becomes ''-ŷ-'' in the plural. | The comparative form is the same for both masculine and feminine nouns, but in the plural the two forms are different: ''arydhŷnoe'' vs. ''arydhŷnae''.

====Superlative==== | |||
The superlative degree is generally formed with the word '''plyd''', that precedes the adjective to which is referred. The relative superlative is the same form of the absolute superlative, but it takes the definite article and is generally followed by a limitation, that is expressed with '''en''' (= "in") / '''evan''' (= "of"), ex.: | |||
* ''Andh to plyd kalin ento kom'' - The most beautiful flower in the world. | |||
In the written language it is also used the old superlative with the suffix '''-dhadh''' (f. '''-dheidh'''): | |||
* ''Andh to kaldhadh evan·to kom'' - The most beautiful flower of the world. | |||
