Comparatives used attributively follow the nouns they modify, but superlatives precede their nouns. Comparatives can be used as modifiers of adjectives, static verbs, adverbs, nouns, or quantificative "na'mu". Comparatives and superlatives are constructed according to morphosyntactic rules. As in most languages, Latin has adjectives that have irregular comparatives and superlatives. Comparatives of adverbs are formed (where they exist) with the ending . Adjectives formed comparatives using the suffix "*-mpa". Comparatives of adverbs are formed (where they exist) with the ending "-iej". Some comparatives and superlatives are suppletive, and use a different root than the base form. Comparatives and superlatives are usually formed by adding "-er" and "-est". Adjectives ending in "-ly" or "-lich" form comparatives either with "-lier", "-liest" or "-loker", "-lokest". The syntax of comparatives can closely mirror the syntax of coordination. Comparatives between modern and pre-modern periods are thus very difficult. These comparatives can be called "absolute". While these may arguably be comparatives, the addition of "tjinene" indicates a unique form.
