=== Adjectives and Adverbs ===

Adjectives are not their own class of words, but are derived from nouns or verbs. Most often they are derived by zero-marking before other nouns or verbs, or with particles. Some of these derived adjectives and adverbs have meanings that don't directly correspond to the word they are derived from; in most cases this is due to homophony in ancestral Wascotl words after dropping of the adjective suffix ''*-(c)osc'' or regular merging with forms ending in ''*-(o)tl'', for example ''toc'' "knife" or "sharp" from Wascotl ''*tequ-(ati)'' and ''*tequ-osc'' respectively.

====Reduplication====

Most parts of speech can be reduplicated for augmented or intensified meaning. In verbs this can also mark an iterative or durative meaning, and in adjectives and adverbs it can also mark a comparative or superlative meaning when the thing being compared to is absent in the sentence.
