 # Adjectivals
 
 Most words considered as adjectives in other languages are in fact
-grammatically nouns in Lántas; words such as `{sabu}` can be translated as 'the
-colour black'. When one noun modifies another attributively, the [genitive
-case](#corecases) suffix `{-(a)t}` is used. Additional adjectives after the
-first additionally take a special conjunctive suffix `{-as}`, similar to the
-comitative case. Adjectives, like other noun modifiers, precede the head noun
-in most cases. However, they can follow it if they indicate a property
-considered inherent to the objects in question.

+all other than the last have a modified form of the comitative suffix,

 Genitive forms can be used as adverbs with the suffix `{-tta}`; the conjunctive
-variant is `{-ttás}`.
+variant is `{-ttás}`. Adverbs appear immediately before the verb if they are
+short. Long adverbial phrases, as well as context-setting adverbs such as time
+words, are usually placed before the rest of the sentence. Longer adverb
+phrases at the start of a sentence are often separated from the rest by
+a comma.
