I recently realized that from an internal POW, it'd make a lot of sense for
Tairezazh to have "negative" degrees of comparation, that is inflections
signifying "less" and "least". So, taking _dair_ "beautiful" as example, the
full range of comparation 'd be:
tshedair most beautiful
dadair more beautiful
dair beautiful
medair less beautiful
sizdair least beautiful
(All to be stressed on the _ai_)
Are there any natlangs with a similar system?
Andreas
