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.
Descriptive and attributive uses
| Nordaþ language |

Comparative
Adjectives take on suffixes to distinguish comparative and superlative. Adjectives take on the -er endings to reflect comparativeness.
belides (popular) → belider (more popular)
dukases (able) → dukaser (more able)
Superlative
The superlative uses -ït/et in the same way as the comparative suffix is attached to the adjective.
nisnäes (bendy) → nisnäest (most bendy)
falïþes (faded) → falïþest (most faded)
