The [e]'s are bracketed instead of parenthesized to note that they change the final vowel, if there is one, of the adjective. For example, if an adjective is modifying a paucal noun, and said adjective ends in one vowel, that vowel is changed to /e/. If the adjective ends in multiple vowels, however, those vowels are changed to /ai/. These ~~two~~ rules are demonstrated in the following sentences:

If the adjective ends in multiple vowels, however, those vowels are changed to /ai/. If the adjective ends in a consonant, then the regular suffix is applied, so for example the plural form of the adjective ''naichaz'', meaning fast, is ''naichazes.'' These three rules are demonstrated in the following sentences:

* Tzo huka gatingatz am'''etze''' (They (paucal) have a large ball)

* Thou hezi gatingerek ame'''s''' (They (plural) have a large ball)

* Tzo huka gatingatz naichiz'''es''' (They (paucal) have a fast ball)

* Thou hezi gatingerek nachiz'''es''' (They (plural) have a fast ball)

* Tzo huka hetianetz ret'''aitzi''' (They (paucal) have a small box)

* Thou hezi hetianerek ret'''ais''' (They (plural) have a small box)
