6 · Adjectives — describing things · a plain-language guide to Assyrian (Sureth) grammar

• 6.2's fifteen shape-patterns (CaCa, CuCa, CCuCa, CaCiCa…) — historical vowel-skeleton sorting of adjectives; no speaking payoff. The living three-form system (ms -a / fs -ta / pl -e) is taught instead.
• 6.9–6.11 fine loan-adaptation classes (fully adapted vs. partly adapted vs. unadapted) — etymology and degree-of-integration detail for lexicographers; folded into the practical rule "treat borrowed adjectives as invariable" above.
• Derivational back-history of the affixes (-aya < attributive *-āyā, participle origins of some -ana forms, etc.) — word-formation history, not needed to use the endings.
