(III) ADJECTIVES. 
20. The Adjective ordinarily precedes the Noun, as dl wott, big 
stone; if used as a predicate, it follows, as td totb bra sang digar ess, your 
clan is all bad, 
21. It sometimes undergoes inflection of case- to correspond with its 
Substantive as shl sium, an old carpet ; siume kale td, in an old fort. 
22. Several Adjectives were recorded by me as ending in l, m, n, r, 
such as dl, big; sium, old; shinglr, pretty, and, when in company 
with certain Substantives, adding a, e, l, presumably for the purpose of 
gender. Adjectives ending in d change the d to l for the feminine, or, 
at all events, occasionally, for the sake of euphony.

vowel r.
