Not traditionally, at least. Altho nouns and adjectives are sometimes grouped into "substantive". But I've never heard adjectives called a type of *noun*. I prefer to think of adjectives as a class that in some languages are inflected like verbs, in some like nouns, and in others (like English) like neither. -- ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
