Adjectives
There are few if any true adjectives; most are participial forms.
Comparison of adjectives is formed by prefixation.
| ου | -θα | = ουθα | |
| old | PART:T | : "old" | |
| ἀμ- | ου | -θα | = ἀμουθα |
| COMP | old | PART:T | : "older" |
| ἰσ- | ου | PART:T | = ἰσουθα |
| SUP | old | ADJ:TAN | : "oldest" |
Gender
There are three genders, ταν (tan, fire), λῡε (lūe, water), and γαρη (garē, earth).
- Ταν is, broadly, all terms of high animacy; this class includes people, animals, σταφθα (staphtha, self-propelled) processes such as fire, and complex systems, where "complex systems" are symptoms comprising simpler systems. An example is λαν (lan, the hand), which comprises νοθι (nothi, fingers).
- Λῡε, terms of low animacy, including simple systems, plants, collectives, verbal nouns, parts of ταν things, and ὑνταφθε (huntaphthe, non-propelled) processes such as rivers.
- Γαρη, inanimate terms, including parts of λῡε things, diminutives, augmentatives, mass nouns, words and letters.
