Adjective Use Table

History

Latin had two major classes of adjectives (altus and fortis). Neuter endings fell out of use when neuter nouns became reclassified between the other two genders. Atus has four endings (o,a,os,as). Fortis has two endings (e,es). In the late fourteenth century adjectives began to change depending on gender because of the form of -ora (feminine). Adverbs descended from neutered adjectives. Adjectives functioned as nouns in the early fourteenth century
