Name of the participating conlang:
-Orynath
(same as on part I please :) )
Is the order GN, NG or both?
-NG.
How is it shown?
-Suffix on the genitive.
Does the language have a closed class of adjectives?
-Yes...
- If yes,
- how are they shown? (see question 2 above)
- list them
-In the form NA. (List them?)
How are they similar, how do they differ from verbs and nouns?
-Adjectives only have to agree with noun in number. They all carry the same
ending (-s), as opposed to nouns which can end in (a,e,i,o,u,r,m,p) and
verbs which can end in (a,e,i,o,u,y).
Can they take a copula (that is: need/don't need equivalent of "to be")?
-I *think* it's optional.
