-Adjectives in Maltcégj generally follow the noun they modify (e.g. ''wíðoc calíc'' sky blue 'blue sky'); however, when an adjective is used as a copula, it may stand on its own as a predicate to ''ek'' ('to be'), or be treated as a verb in its own right (e.g. ''ek gnída gnir'' is grass green, ''gnir gnida'' green grass - 'The grass is green.')
