Likewise basically Gzarondan. The distinction being
whether the adjective /specifies/ or merely /defines/ the
item. "Pass me the big tray" would mean, Pass me the big
tray and not the small one; whereas "Pass me the tray
big" would mean, "Pass me the tray (the tray is big)".

(Of course, the above examples aren't given in Gz.
grammar. You.imp pass big tray to me.)
