Spoken Thoughts ( hope you don't want the language translation )...
>2: Order of genitive (G), and noun (N)
>Is the order GN, NG or both?
both ( for now ) ( mainly GN )
>How is it shown?
>- Through simple juxtaposition? (no extra marking anywhere)
[snip]
>- With a freestanding word (or words) surrounding or next to the G and the
>N?
> (that is, not separating 'em)
With a marking on the end ( -uu )
>3: Order of adjective (A) and noun (N)
>Does the language have a closed class of adjectives?
>- If yes,
> - how are they shown? (see question 2 above)
> - list them
Umm, I think the answere would be yes and no.
There is a seperate class of adjectives and adverbs ( together ), but nouns
with the genitive marking could be used.
>If there is not a separate open adjective-class, what type of words do
>the work of adjectives, verbs or nouns?
Umm, like said before, nouns in the genitive case.
>Regardless of being a separate class or not:
>How are they similar, how do they differ from verbs and nouns?
>Can they take a copula (that is: need/don't need equivalent of "to be")?
I don't know what a copula is and can do, so, I won't be able to answere
this ( even with your example, I haven't been able to decide or such ).
