The Nordaþ language uses adjectives in a very similar fashion to English. One difference is in that adjectives' endings reflect the type of vowels (front or back) in the word.

Comparative
Adjectives take on suffixes to distinguish comparative and superlative. Adjectives take on the -ïïr/ër endings to reflect comparativeness.
belideses (popular) → belidesër (more popular) dukasïs (able) → dukasïïr (more able)
Superlative
The superlative uses -ït/et in the same way as the comparative suffix is attached to the adjective.
nisnäis (bendy) → nisnäet (most bendy) falïþïs (faded) → falïþït (most faded)
