Most loan adjectives have unmarked feminine singular forms. For Irish loan adjectives, the emphaticness of the plural may differ from the m.sg.: ''oifigeṁm{{cda}}ail'' /ɔfɪ'g̟ɛw{{uvu}}:ə'''l'''/ (m. and f.sg), ''oifigeṁṁala'' /ɔfɪ'g̟ɛw{{uvu}}'''l{{uvu}}'''ə/ (pl) 'official'.

Color and defect adjectives follow a different declension: ''eaħmir'' 'red' has f.sg. and pl. ''ħamre''. Color adjectives from Irish do use the plural form as the feminine singular: ''celb lìaṫ'' /cɛlb liɐh/ 'a gray dog', ''moȝze liaṫ'''a''''' /moɐzə liɐhə/ 'a gray goat'.

Adverbs formed from adjectives use the unmarked form, as in Levantine Arabic. An alternative construction for adverbs, common in written language, is ''be treò'' [ADJ.m.sg] or ''be sliġe'' /bəʃliːjə/ [ADJ.f.sg], from ''be'' 'instrumental' + Irish ''treo'' 'direction'/''sliġe'' 'way'.
