Adadnouns


As adverbs modify verbs and adnouns (English "adjectives") modify nouns, adadnouns modify adnouns. A list is in Column A.

The adadnoun suffix is "-by".  A Peoplese word with "-by" suffix is modifing an adjective.  Ex:  pale-by blue shirt.
This distinction is applicable to professional Peoplese.  For casual Peoplese used in everyday speaking and writing:  pale blue shirt.

In English parlance, "adjectives modify nouns", and "adjectives also modify adjectives", as in "a pale blue shirt". 
English also uses "ly" word-endings to describe adjectives, as in "amazingly beautiful".  A list is in Column B. 
In Peoplese "-ly" is an adverb suffix; a word-root with an "-ly" suffix always enhances a verb.

English also uses "ingly" word-endings for words modifying adjectives, as in Column C.
