Adjectives function as a subclass of intransitive verbs, though grammatical functions set them apart. For example, the superlative "-ie" is reserved for adjectives, as in "lingan", "beautiful," and "lingahnie", "most beautiful." Likewise reserved for adjectives is the suffix -"ki", which indicates instrumentality in transitive verbs, means "to consider " when suffixed to an adjective. Superlatives may also appear using the ordinal numeral "keieu" "first." Comparatives are made through word order and the suffix "-sang": "Pwihke laudsang pwihko" means "This pig is bigger than that pig."
