Adjectives take minimal inflection, based on its position relative to its noun head. A suffix ''-em'' simply indicates the adjective is dependent on another element, and appears when the adjective follows its head. Interestingly, if a periphrastic verb construction appears immediately after the adjective, the adjective is displaced and must appear before its noun head. A connective ''mon'' surfaces between the pre-nominal adjective and its noun. This rule does not apply with synthetic verbs, however, following the default noun-adjective order, wherein the ''-em'' suffix obligatorily surfaces. | Adjectives take minimal inflection, based on its position relative to its noun head.
