Adjectives

Adjectives come after the things they describe. The regular way of adding adjectives to nouns is just adding the adjective after it.

󱛃󱚻󱛃󱛃󱚹 󱛄󱚲󱛍󱛃 orogı kuo (orchid black): black orchid

󱛄󱚲󱛍󱚴 󱚾󱚺󱛂 󱛃󱚹 kue jaq gı (book very good): very good book

󱚶󱚲 󱚻󱚲󱛍󱚺 󱚾󱚺󱛂 󱚶󱚴 du rua jaq de (seem flower very beautiful): very beautiful (thing) which seems to be a flower

Adjectives are left grouping. raı de gı is ((raı) de) gı "good beautiful thing". This becomes less obvious with serials: 󱛄󱚲󱛍󱚴 󱚾󱚺󱛂 󱛃󱚹 kue jaq gı (book very good) is still (book) very good even though it may look like *((book) very) good.

Now when you are dealing with nouns, you can safely put words next to it like this, because nouns have no object places. But when you are dealing with verbs, this may cause it to be a serial verb instead. This is where 󱛄󱚹󱛒 kı- comes in, which marks a word as an adjective and stops it from becoming a serial verb.

󱚹󱚺 󱚵󱚲󱛍󱚹 ca nuı (cause small): cause to be small

󱚹󱚺 󱛄󱚹󱛒󱚵󱚲󱛍󱚹 ca kı̣nuı (cause kı-small): small cause

󱚼󱚹󱛍󱚴 󱚲󱚹󱛍󱚺󱛂 󱚷󱚲󱚹󱚺󱛎󱚹 lıe bıaq tucaı (experience enough strong): experience being sufficiently strong

󱚹󱚺 󱛄󱚹󱛒󱚵󱚲󱛍󱚹 lıe kı̣bıaq tucaı (experience kı-enough strong): sufficiently strong experiencer
