2.1. Inequalities
2.1.1. Augmentative
This is how to form a statement of X which is more Y than Z
where X is a noun of any case, Y is the adjective whose degree is how the nouns are compared, and Z is the the second noun being compared. This construction can be placed within a sentence and structurally modifies X, where X has some other purpose in the larger sentence.
Example: The tree which is heavier than the stone is old.
edєʎai enhlæʌ ɂænʌið єoðsn nalaȣʌ aðul
And this is how to simply state that X is more Y than Z
where X, Y, and Z have the same meanings as above, but in this construction X is the subject of the sentence and the copula ⟨na⟩ is conjugated for the animacy and number of X.
Example: The tree is heavier than the stone.
edєʎai nalaȣʌ enhlæʌ ɂænʌið єoðsn
2.1.2. Diminutive
This is how to form a statement of X which is less Y than Z
where X, Y, and Z have the same meanings as in section 2.1.1
2.1.3. Negative
To form the similar, but negative constructions as in sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2, use the prefixes ⟨khen⟩ and ⟨khin⟩ in place of ⟨en⟩ and ⟨in⟩, respectively. For more information about modifier prefixes, see this article.
