The majority of adjectives decline like [[#o-stems|''o''-stems]] in the [[#Masculine|masculine]] and [[#Neuter|neuter]], and like [[#eH.E2.82.82-stems|''eH₂''-stems]] in the feminine. The feminine stem is often irregular, or rather slightly different from the masculine and neuter stem. Note that even when the feminine form appears to have arisen historically from a ''devī''-stem, the final ''-ā'' is still long (e.g. ''kās'', ''kānt'', ''kānkā''—not, as one might expect, ''*kānkă''.) | The majority of adjectives decline like [[#o-stems|''o''-stems]] in the [[#Masculine|masculine]] and [[#Neuter|neuter]], and like [[#eH.E2.82.82-stems|''eH₂''-stems]] in the feminine.

None of the adjectives in my original file appear to decline as [[#consonant and i-stems|consonant stems]], or any other paradigm. It is unknown if this is a general feature of the language, or if I simply never got to designing any consonant-stem adjectives. But it seems that even nouns derived from present participles (e.g. ''isās'', ''isāntah'' "being") decline as ''o''-stems. | None of the adjectives in my original file appear to decline as [[#consonant and i-stems|consonant stems]], or any other paradigm.
