+====== Lessons — Descriptive words: adjectives ======
 Adjectives are the words that usually help to describe nouns. Adjectives do not have many grammatical forms, and we will not discuss them in this lesson. There are two types of adjectives: short one-syllable long adjectives and more longer words made from nouns or verbs.

 ===== Long adjectives =====
-Most of the long adjectives are formed from other words (usually nouns and rarely verbs) by adding suffix "-ûrz":

-"Uzul" (green) is probably the only two-syllable long adjective in the dictionary that is not formed with suffix "-ûrz".
+"Ûzûl" (green) is probably the only two-syllable long adjective in the dictionary that is not formed with suffix "//-ûrz//".
 As you can see in previous section, in words like "bûrz", "gûrz", "tûrz" and some more not listed there but present in the dictionary, "ûrz" is part of the adjective's stem, not a suffix.
-There aren't many long adjectives in the dictionary, but it doesn't mean they are rare. If you can't find some adjective, you can make it by adding suffix "-ûrz" to the existing noun or verb with similar meaning, like with two of the examples above.

 ===== Word order =====
-You may place any type of adjectives before or after the noun they describe, but other Neo-Black Speech dialects tend to place them //after// the word they modify, so most of examples in Nûrlâm's wiki do the same. We'll continue to discuss word order and the ways of adding adjectives to nouns in the next two lessons. But in the following exercises the word order doesn't matter. For example, "red blood" may be translated as "ghor karn" or "karn ghor", both variants are correct.
