[edit] [top]Introduction

Edievian comparatives are formed through suffixes that affix to the singular form of the adjective.

Comparatives come in four forms: the comparative, the superlative, the negative comparative, and the negative superlative. These map more or less to the following English constructions:

  • comparative: more [adj], [adj]er
  • superlative: most [adj], [adj]est
  • negative comparative: less [adj]
  • negative superlative: least [adj]


The affixes can be found in the following table. Note that the superlative suffix -so/su dissimilates to -no/nu after /s/. ( The table shows suffixes for singular/plural, the table on CWS can be found here)

ComparativeNegative ComparativeSuperlativeNegative Superlative
-era/era-ove/ovi-so/su-ete/eti


[edit] [top]Comparative Constructions

Constructions involving the comparative are relatively simple, with the following being the generic construction:

    abae X COMP ar Y
    X is COMP than Y


Note that "ar", though it is acting as a conjunction, will inflect like a preposition, its inflection can be found here.

Examples:

    Ab gae ronera rat.
    I am stronger than you.

    Ab siáe laodaen temove ráis maec.
    The cat is less fast than the dog.


[edit] [top]Adverbs

Like all adverbs derived from adjectives, comparative adverbs are placed ahead of the verb being modified:

    Caevso dodaéis le nev no siáer.
    He speaks most angrily after some beer.
