Adjectives. Adjectives agree with their nouns in gender and number, but do not alter with the case of the noun. This rule applies also to genitives in o, which change it to i in the fem. sing. and nias. plural and ē in the fem, plural. [The rule as to the formation of the feminine is not complete, as will appear from the following examples.] bar musha
... great man. bari chef ... ...
... great woman. mið äship...
... my horse. më ashipi ...
... my horses. meii aship...
... my mare. mē aships ...
