As others have pointed out, <gracias> is properly spelled thus and
pronounced /'gra(z)jas/ although the trisyllabic
/'gra.(z)i.jas/~/'gra.(z)I.j@s/ is common among non-native speakers.
The (z) represents either /s/ or /T/ depending on region. The
combination <ia> forms the rising diphthong /ja/; the two-nucleus
sequence /ia/ is spelled <ía>.

But to get back to your actual question, I've seen
"adjectivali(s|z)er" used in this context before.
