ADJECTIVES

Adjectives come before the noun they modify. Adjectives may also modify pronouns, unlike in English; “happy-they/(the happy ones) the street down ran” would be an acceptable construction, especially when context has already established who the subject in question is. This is often applied in place of the gendered pronouns in English; “she did that” to “old-they did that”, “he was kind” to “honored-younger-they were kind”. This may very well occur in the main clause of a non-reduced clause construction.
