== Adjectives and Adverbs ==

In Stonebreaker, adjectives (that describe things) and adverbs (that describe adjectives) take the same form. So, ''gara'' means both 'good' and 'well'. Both adjectives and adverbs precede the word they describe. More often than not they are joined to the word. See the following examples:

''Ei Garabarl.'' This is good ale - ''gara + Barl''.

''Garak''. He works well - ''gara + ak''.

Adjectives are most often formed from type II nouns. Type II nouns that end in -im are formed by removing the im. Others are formed by removing the m. Examples:

Other adjectives include colours:
