==== Adjectives ==== There are a number of adjectives that have no specific suffixes, e.g. ''utik'' 'bad', ''sojδa'' 'good', ''lodo'' 'low' and ''piδe'' 'high'. Alongside these, there are various suffixal adjectives, e.g. ''buse̮-saj ne̮'' 'a married woman', ''bite-δa'' 'waterless', ''uδa-šiδa'' 'handless', ''mȯga-he'' 'belonging to the forest', ''same-raha'' 'wolf-like', ''narδe-de̮'' 'red', ''polδe-de̮'' 'black'. The adjective does not agree with its head either in number or case, e.g. ''agga koja'' 'big sterlet', ''agga koja-hone'' (locative), ''agga koja-hi̮t'' (plural ablative). As an exception, we can refer to the use of the adjective instead of an elliptical noun and as a predicate in the nominal conjugation. To strengthen a possessive connection, sometimes a respective possessive suffix may be added to the head of an attribute, e.g. ''<u>keδerʔ</u> '''koba-δa''' ŋul'ʔ mujuʔ'' 'the wild reindeer skin is very strong' ("'''its-skin''' <u>of-the-wild-reindeer</u>..."). The comparative degree is formed by means of an adjective in the positive degree (in the nominative form) with the word to be compared in the ablative form.<ref name=":0" />
