That's what I do in Moten (where it's much more developped than in Euskara, as
it is a general principle of Moten grammar, and works also for verbs). Really
there's nearly no ambiguity generally. In Moten, ambiguity arises mainly because
adjectives are mainly nouns used in appositions with other nouns, and generally
put after the noun they complete, while usual nominal complements are put in
front of the completed noun.
