Adjectives are not their own class of words, but are derived from nouns or verbs. Most often they are derived by zero-marking before other nouns or verbs, or with suffixes or particles (''-jí'' or forms of ''hé'' for adjectives, ''hez'i'' for adverbs). Some of these derived adjectives and adverbs have meanings that don't directly correspond to the word they are derived from; in most cases this is due to homophony in ancestral Wascotl words after dropping of the adjective suffix ''*-(c)osc'' or regular merging with forms ending in ''*-(o)tl'' (both becoming ''-ux''), for example ''toc'' "knife" or "sharp" from Wascotl ''*tequ-(ati)'' and ''*tequ-osc'' respectively.
