Like nouns, adjectives are pluralized in ''-(e)x''. | 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)''. When an adjective's stem ends in ''-r-'' or ''-l-'', it combines with the superlative suffix to form ''-(e)rmo(n)/a(n)'' or ''-(e)lmo(n)/a(n)'' respectively (where ''-(e)-'' is added when the ''-r-'' or ''-l-'' is preceded by a consonant). | |||
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 ''-i(n)'', ''e(n)'', or another vowel: 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(d)''. This suffix undergoes the same sound changes as the corresponding adjective suffix. | |||
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". | |||

:1. Before a glide ''-i-'', labialized consonants lose their labialization. This applies in the 1S for Class 2, 4, and 5 verbs and the 3P for Class 4 & 5 verbs. Additionally, Class 4 & 5 verbs whose stems end in coronal consonants undergo stem changes in the 1S and 3P forms: | |||

:2. Verbs whose stem end in velar stops (''-c-'' or ''-g-'') maintain their spelling throughout the present indicative regardless of whether that would result in a "hard" or "soft" pronunciation. On the other hand, verbs whose stem ends in ''-ch-'' or ''-gh-'' drop the ''-h-'' when they are not followed by front vowels. | |||

====Negation==== | |||
Negation of verbs is accomplished with ''ho(d/G)'' or (rarely) ''ne''. Both of these particles precede the verb. | |||
Alternatively, negation may be accomplished by using a negative word. | |||
Double negation is not used in formal language. | |||
